Layer-Specific Anatomical and Physiological Features of the Retina’s Neurovascular Unit

Academic Report on the Study of Layer-Specific Anatomical and Physiological Characteristics of the Retinal Neurovascular Unit Background and Problem Statement Retinal processing, similar to all neural computations, is metabolically expensive and involves the dynamic regulation of blood flow, known as neurovascular coupling (NVC). The retina is supp...

Serine and Glycine Physiology Reversibly Modulate Retinal and Peripheral Nerve Function

Reversible Regulation of Retinal and Peripheral Nerve Function: Physiological Study of Serine and Glycine Background and Research Motivation Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 (Mactel) is an age-related retinal disease characterized by central vision loss. The molecular etiology of this disease is complex and is primarily associated with the metabolism ...
