Retinal ganglion cells degenerate in glaucoma and other optic neuropathies, and regenerative failure leads to permanent loss of vision in these diseases. RGC axons injured in the optic nerve fail to regrow back to their targets in the brain, and the cell bodies die a short time afterwards. Here we will discuss recent data revealing new signalling pathways regulating RGC survival and regeneration, and approaches to reversing regenerative failure in the visual pathway.
