Functional analysis of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor in retinal ganglion cells under oxidative stress.

abstract：:Retinopathy of prematurity, a leading cause of visual impairment in low birth-weight infants, remains a crucial therapeutic challenge. Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a promyelinating trophic factor that promotes rod and cone photoreceptor survival and cone outer segment regeneration in the degenerating retina. ...
