NIH grant awarded to Doheny Eye Institute for research on retinal ganglion cell signaling and bioenergetics to improve understanding and diagnosis of retinal diseases.
Description
This NIH grant supports research on retinal ganglion cell bioenergetics and signaling, with potential implications for neuroprotection and retinal disease diagnostics. The research focuses on how the metabolic state of retinal ganglion cell subtypes influences their electrical excitability and aims to identify mechanisms that prevent metabolic crises in the retina.
