Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ruta Maciulaitiene"
- Ruta Maciulaitiene's research primarily focuses on neuroprotection in the context of glaucoma, specifically investigating the protective effects of various pharmacological treatments on retinal ganglion cells and astrocytes in mouse models.
- In her 2024 study, Maciulaitiene demonstrates that a combination of topical and systemic administration of brimonidine effectively protects retinal ganglion cells from damage in a murine optic nerve crush model, indicating the potential for enhanced therapeutic strategies in glaucoma management.
- Earlier, in her 2017 research, she explored the glioprotective effects of memantine, an NMDA receptor antagonist, on retinal astrocytes following intravitreal administration, contributing to a better understanding of neuroprotection mechanisms in glaucomatous conditions.
