Decelerated neurodegeneration after intravitreal injection of α-synuclein antibodies in a glaucoma animal model

Abstract Although elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the major risk factor in glaucoma, neurodegenerative processes continue despite effective IOP lowering. Altered α-synuclein antibody (Abs) levels have been reported to play a crucial role. This study aimed at identifying whether α-synucle...
