    • Inhibition of GABA Initiates Retina Regeneration in the Zebrafish 
      Rao, Mahesh Badeti (2016-07-27)
      Department: Biological Sciences
      Retina damage or disease in humans often leads to reactive gliosis, preventing the formation of new cells and resulting in visual impairment or blindness. Currently, treatments are being developed to stimulate repair or ...
    • Investigation of hemi-gap-junction channels in retinal horizontal cells 
      Sun, Ziyi (2009-12-02)
      Department: Biological Sciences
      Hemi-gap-junction (HGJ) channels composed of connexin (Cx) proteins are proposed as the key component to mediate the negative feedback pathway from horizontal cells (HCs) to photoreceptors in the outer retina. The goal of ...
    • Regulation of Collagen Trafficking Pathways in Homeostasis and Disease
