Researchers seek new approaches to better protect the eye from glaucoma
Under the increased pressure of glaucoma, scientists want to help the neurons in our eyes better protect themselves and get better help from their friends.
They are working to see whether agents that activate the innate neuron protector sigma 1 receptor, or S1R, can do both.
Current glaucoma therapies work to reduce pressure in the eye by increasing outflow and/or reducing fluid production.
