Insight into Cells that Convey Data from Eye to Brain


A team of researchers identified molecular differences between retinal ganglion cell subtypes, information which could lead to a better understanding as to why some respond differently to injury or treatments. The new study , published this week in Nature Communications , identifies 40 subtypes of retinal ganglion cells, which convey visual data from the eye to the brain, along with the genetic markers and transcription factors that differentiate them.
