Grant Activity:
Targeting neuroserpin-plasmin interactions to protect the retina in glaucoma
Purpose:
Glaucoma causes blindness and despite our best treatment many patients continue to progress. A new approach is needed to protect the cells that die in the retina. We have established that a common protease – plasmin – is involved in the process, and a protein that normally regulates it – neuroserpin – is downregulated in the disease. We aim to modify neuroserpin using an ocular gene therapy approach and show it could be used as a novel therapy in glaucoma.
