Study of the role of miR-204 in photoreceptor development
… i.e. medaka fish) and <i>in vitro</i> (661W cell line) systems. I found that, the gain-of-function of miR-204 led to an earlier exit of photoreceptor precursors from cell cycle and to a concomitant earlier ‘fate determination’, which in turn resulted in earlier onset of photoreceptor …

Steroid induced neuroprotection of damaged photoreceptor cells
… in which Norgestrel worked. To this aim, the 661W cone photoreceptor-like cell line and ex vivo retinal explanting was utilised. We found that Norgestrel induces a increase in neuroprotective basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) with subsequent downstream actions on the inhibition of glycogen …

Redox biology in retinal degeneration
… produce the death of the remaining photoreceptor cells, the cones. Several therapeutic approaches have been studied during the last decades. In 2011, our group discovered the neuroprotective properties of ‘Norgestrel’, a synthetic progestin used in the female oral contraceptive pill, in the …
