Journal ArticleDOI
Paracrine-Mediated Neuroprotection and Neuritogenesis of Axotomised Retinal Ganglion Cells by Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells: Comparison with Human Bone Marrow and Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
TL;DR: Results demonstrated that hDPSC promoted significantly more neuroprotection and neuritogenesis of axotomised RGC than either hBMSC or hAMSC, an effect that was neutralized after the addition of specific Fc-receptor inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intravitreally transplanted dental pulp stem cells promote neuroprotection and axon regeneration of retinal ganglion cells after optic nerve injury.
TL;DR: Intravitreal transplants of DPSCs promoted significant neurotrophin-mediated RGC survival and axon regeneration after optic nerve injury and the effects were abolished after TrK receptor blockade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stem cell treatment of degenerative eye disease
TL;DR: It is concluded that ESCs/iPSCs have the potential to replace lost retinal cells, whereas MSC may be a useful source of paracrine factors that protect RGC and stimulate regeneration of their axons in the optic nerve in degenerate eye disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the use and impact of lecture recording in undergraduates: Evidence for distinct approaches by different groups of students
TL;DR: Evaluating student use of lecture recordings and their impact on academic performance appears to be beneficial, but may reduce lecture attendance and encourage surface learning approaches in a minority of students.
Journal ArticleDOI
Matrix metalloproteases: degradation of the inhibitory environment of the transected optic nerve and the scar by regenerating axons
TL;DR: Results suggest that activation of MMP and coincident down-regulation of TIMP may act to attenuate the inhibitory scarring in the regenerating ON, thus transforming the ON into a noninhibitory pathway for axon regrowth.
