The molecular basis of retinal ganglion cell death in glaucoma.

TL;DR: This body of work has considerably updated and expanded the view of how RGCs might die in glaucoma and has revealed novel, potential targets for neuroprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin 6 and its receptor: ten years later.

TL;DR: JAK tyrosine kinase is a key molecule that can initiate multiple signal-transduction pathways by inducing the tyrosinesine-phosphorylation of the cytokine receptor, gp130 in the case of IL-6, on which several signaling molecules are recruited, including STAT, a signal transducer and activator of transcription, and SHP-2, which links to the Ras-MAP kinase pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurturin, a relative of glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor.

TL;DR: Neurturin and Glial Cell Line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) as discussed by the authors have been shown to activate the MAP kinase signalling pathway in cultured sympathetic neurons and support the survival of sympathetic neurons, as well as of sensory neurons of nodose and dorsal root ganglia.
