Modulating gap junction permeability in photoreceptor-degenerated retinas

Professor Eberhart Zrenner contributed to a research article that aims to understand the lateral gap junction (GJ)-mediated communication pathway in photoreceptor-degenerated retinas, which is crucial for effective treatment of functional disorders of neuronal membrane channels. GJs play a vital...

Sonogenetic for vision restoration

Professor Serge Picaud supervised a study that, for the first time, demonstrated the use of high-frequency ultrasonic stimulation after ectopic expression of a mechanosensitive ion channel of large conductance (MscL) to activate the visual cortex. MscL was expressed in vivo in both rat retinal...
