Abstract excerpt
Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease that results in the degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and subsequent loss of vision. While RGCs are the primary cell type affected in glaucoma, neighboring cell types selectively modulate RGCs to maintain overall homeostasis. Among these neighboring cell types, astrocytes, microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs), and pericytes coordinate with neurons to form the...
