Inhibition of monocyte-like cell extravasation protects from neurodegeneration in DBA/2J glaucoma

Abstract Background Glaucoma is characterized by the progressive dysfunction and loss of retinal ganglion cells. Recent work in animal models suggests that a critical neuroinflammatory event damages retinal ganglion cell axons in the optic nerve head during ocular hypertensive injury. We previously...
