Abstract excerpt
Convincing data demonstrate that D-serine, a racemized product of serine racemase (SR), contributes to neurotoxicity. Furthermore, a line of evidence suggests that SR/D-serine contributes to retinal neurodegeneration in a diabetic retinopathy rat model and diabetic retinopathy patients. However, the connection between SR/D-serine and retinal neurodegeneration remains unclear. Herein, we report that intravitreal...
