We previously identified a spinal astrocyte population that expresses hairy and enhancer of split 5 (Hes5) and is selectively present in superficial laminae in mice. However, it was unclear whether such astrocyte heterogeneity is commonly observed across species. Using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors incorporating a rat Hes5 promotor (AAV-Hes5P), we found that AAV-Hes5P-captured astrocytes were selectively located in the superficial laminae in rats.

Design: Retrospective, multicenter, before-and-after study.
Methods: One eye from all primary open-angle glaucoma patients who underwent GATT combined with cataract surgery (Phaco-GATT) or GATT stand-alone with 12 months of follow-up were included and divided according to glaucoma severity (mild = GI, moderate = GII, and advanced = GIII) and the outcomes compared.
Cognitive radio networks are vulnerable to numerous threats during spectrum sensing. Different approaches can be used to lessen these attacks as the malicious users degrade the performance of the network. The cutting-edge technologies of machine learning and deep learning step into cognitive radio networks (CRN) to detect network problems.
