Scientists Discover a Key Reason Why the Aging Eye Struggles To Regrow Lost Neurons
AI KEY TAKEAWAYS (TL;DR)
- Reducing inflammation partially restored the aging retina’s ability to generate new neurons from support cells, offering a possible route to improve experimental regeneration
- To replace nerve cells lost to glaucoma, researchers are looking to cells already living alongside them
- Called glia, these cells support and nourish neurons in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the [
