The National Eye Institute award funds research into molecular mechanisms that limit optic nerve regeneration, with the goal of informing approaches to preserve or restore vision after injury.
Description
Project investigating how inhibition of the transcription factor Klf9 affects regeneration of damaged optic nerve axons and whether overriding Klf9-related suppression can restore visual connectivity.
