Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optic neuropathies encompass a group of disorders characterized by damage to the optic nerve, leading to visual impairment or loss. Recent advancements in research have paved the way for innovative diagnostic techniques, experimental models, and therapeutic approaches to better understand and manage these debilitating conditions. This Special Issue, “Molecular Issue in Optic Neuropathy”, aims to highlight groundbreaking developments in the field, with a particular focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, cutting-edge model systems, and emerging treatment strategies. By deepening our molecular insights into optic neuropathies, this issue seeks to inspire the development of more effective interventions for patients worldwide.
This Special Issue is supervised by Prof. Dr. Nitza Goldenberg-Cohen and assisted by Dr. Alon Zahavi (Tel Aviv University).
