Abstract excerpt
The Wnt pathway is an essential signaling cascade that regulates survival and differentiation in the retina. We recently demonstrated that retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) have constitutively active Wnt signaling in vivo. However, the role of Wnt in RGC viability or function is unknown. In this study, we investigated whether Wnt protects the retinal ganglion cell line RGC-5 from elevated pressure, oxidative stress,...
