A novel particle-based in situ gelling system for delivering hydrogen sulfide at a sustained rate for potential application in glaucoma and retinal neurodegeneration
… by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and neurodegeneration of retina ganglion cell and optic nerve head. If left untreated it may cause blindness. Current therapies help in lowering the IOP, however, it is the neurodegeneration which plays a key role in blindness. Hydrogen sulfide …

Inflammasome upregulation and activation in photoreceptors of type 2 diabetes and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea models is attenuated by Wedelolactone
… of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and some aspects of retinal neurodegeneration although the precise underlying mechanisms linking these pathologies are not fully understood. Inflammation and oxidative damage are linked pathogenic processes that are enhanced during obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus …

A New Model for Assessment of Change in Visual Function in Diabetes
… of debate to what extent diabetes also affects retinal neurons. Visual acuity is routinely tested to evaluate visual function in diabetes, but can vary for no obvious reasons and even be normal despite severe vessel abnormalities, and hence less useful for early detection of visual impairment. …

Relationships between subtle ocular changes and microvascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes
… develop analytical methods of quantifying retinal and choroidal biomarkers of structure and/or function, including novel biomarkers such as choroid thickness, choriocapillaris perfusion, and retinal capillary perfusion, to ensure collection of high-quality data for aims 1) and 2). Methods: …

Pharmacological targets for treatment of retinal neurodegenerations: new perspectives [Nuove prospettive sui target farmacologici per il trattamento della neurodegenerazione retinica]
Il glaucoma e la retinopatia diabetica, malattie degenerative che colpiscono la retina, rappresentano le principali cause di cecità al mondo. Nonostante la differente eziopatogenesi, il deterioramento morfologico e funzionale delle cellule retiniche rappresenta un evento comune ad entrambe le …
