Ганглиозные клетки сетчатки: возможности нейропротекции при глаукоме

Neuroprotective therapy is a contemporary and promising direction in glaucoma treatment. This strategy involves retinal protection, as well as the protection of optic nerve fibers from damaging by various factors. Cell therapy is gradually finding its practical application in almost all areas of clinical medicine, including ophthalmology. The positive effect of cell transplantation is associated with several mechanisms, including the trophic one and therefore, retinal cells metabolic stress correction is an important aspect of neuroprotection in glaucoma. The review analyzes the current state of researching retinal ganglion cells as targets for glaucoma therapy and gives a general idea about the new approaches to the treatment of this disease with the use of cell technologies based on neuroprotection strategies.
