Diversity in homeostatic calcium set points predicts retinal ganglion cell survival following optic nerve injury in vivo

Summary: Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration drives vision loss in blinding conditions. RGC death is often triggered by axon degeneration in the optic nerve. Here, we study the contributions of dynamic and homeostatic Ca2+ levels to RGC death from axon injury. We find that axonal Ca2+ elevation...
