The “Standardization of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) Working Group” published classification criteria to help with better disease-specific approaches to diagnosis and treatment. For animal models of Uveitis, our OptoDrum provides a convenient readout tool to characterize diesease progression.
OptoDrum Applications – Induced Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE)
In this video of our series “OptoDrum Applications” Prof. Volker Enzmann from the University of Bern presents the results of his research on induced EAE, a model for optic neuropathy and multiple sclerosis.
Journal Club: Assessing Neuroinflammation-related Neural Damage by Monitoring the Retinotectal System
Neuroinflammation amplifies neural damage caused by genetic disorders or aging. Groh et al show that neuroinflammation has deleterious consequences for the optic nerve, and disease progression can be monitored with the OptoDrum.
OptoDrum paper by Berve et al, on Neuroinflammation
In this recent paper, Berve et al show with our OptoDrum the harm of neuroinflammation on the visual system, and the benefits of proper treatments.
