  • Lhx2 is a progenitor-intrinsic modulator of Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis 
    Li, Xiaodong; Gordon, Patrick J.; Gaynes, John A.; Fuller, Alexandra W.; Ringuette, Randy; Santiago, Clayton P.; Wallace, Valerie; Blackshaw, Seth; Li, Pulin; Levine, Edward M (ELIFE, 2022-12-02)
    An important question in organogenesis is how tissue-specific transcription factors interact with signaling pathways. In some cases, transcription factors define the context for how signaling pathways elicit tissue- or ...
  • Galantamine protects against synaptic, axonal, and vision deficits in experimental neurotrauma 
    Naguib, Sarah; Bernardo-Colon, Alexandra; Cencer, Caroline; Gandra, Neha; Rex, Tonia S. (Neurobiology of Disease, 2020-02)
    Our goal was to investigate the neuroprotective effects of galantamine in a mouse model of blast-induced indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (bITON). Galantamine is an FDA-approved acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used to ...
  • Progression and Pathology of Traumatic Optic Neuropathy From Repeated Primary Blast Exposure 
    Bernardo-Colon, Alexandra; Vest, Victoria; Cooper, Melissa L.; Naguib, Sarah A.; Calkiins, David J.; Rex, Tonia S. (FRONTIERS IN NEUROSCIENCE, 2019-07-11)
    Indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (ITON) is a condition that is often associated with traumatic brain injury and can result in significant vision loss due to degeneration of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons at the time ...
