Abstrakt:	A recent study conducted by researchers at Montana State University explored the cellular pathology associated with retinal degeneration in Familial Dysautonomia (FD), a rare genetic disorder. The study found that disruptions in the neurovascular unit (NVU) in the FD retina may contribute to and exacerbate the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), leading to progressive blindness. The research suggests that targeting the neurovascular unit could be a potential therapeutic intervention for FD. The study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying RGC death in FD and may contribute to the development of treatments for this debilitating symptom. [Extracted from the article]
