Inhibition of the classical pathway of the complement cascade prevents early dendritic and synaptic degeneration in glaucoma
5 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is a complex, multifactorial disease characterised by the loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons leading to a decrease in visual function. The earliest events that damage retinal ganglion cells in glaucoma are currently unknown.
