ALS Clinical Trials Review: 20 Years of Failure. Are We Any Closer to Registering a New Treatment?

abstract：:In mammals, melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells (mRGCs) are, among other things, involved in several non-image-forming visual functions, including light entrainment of circadian rhythms. Considering the profound impact of aging on visual function and ophthalmic diseases, here we evaluate changes in mRGCs thro...
