RNA sequencing identifies compounds that stimulate neural regeneration in retinal disease

Retinal degeneration in mammals, which leads to permanent vision loss, is a challenging condition because, unlike some animals, mammals cannot naturally regenerate their retinal cells. However, research has shown that certain non-mammalian vertebrates, such as fish and amphibians, can regenerate retinal neurons through a specialized process involving Muller glia (MG), a type of supportive …
