AAV-mediated regeneration of neurons in injury-induced and inherited retinal degeneration

Meng-Ling Yang, Sherine Awad, Amelia Chung, Jenna Dang, Madelyn Chong, Zachary Flickinger, Kwoon Y. Wong, Thanh V. Hoang

This study shows that AAV-delivered Neurog2-9SA converts Muller glia into retinal neurons in degenerative models, integrating into circuits and exhibiting neuronal properties.

Depletion of Polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (ptbp1) activates Muller glia-derived proliferation during zebrafish retina regeneration via modulation of the senescence secretome

Gregory J. Konar, Audrey L Lingan, Kyle T Vallone, Tu Dac Nguyen, Zachary Flickinger, James G. Patton

The paper shows that PTB depletion in zebrafish retina activates Muller glia proliferation and enhances regeneration through modulation of the senescence secretome.
