HDAC4 Promotes Neuroprotection of Retinal Ganglion Cells After Optic Nerve Injury
Enhancement of HDAC4 activity promotes RGC survival and axon regeneration in a model of RGC injury, normalizing RGC gene expression toward the uninjured state. HDAC4 is thereby identified as a novel target in the development of therapeutics for RGC protection and restoration of visual function.
