The challenge of regenerative therapies for the optic nerve in glaucoma
This review arose from a discussion of regenerative therapies to treat optic nerve
degeneration in glaucoma at the 2015 Lasker/IRRF Initiative on Astrocytes and
Glaucomatous Neurodegeneration. In addition to the authors, participants included
Jonathan Crowston, Andrew Huberman, Elaine Johnson, Richard Lu, Hemai Phatnami,
Rebecca Sappington, and Don Zack. Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease of the optic
nerve, and is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The disease progresses …
