retinal remodeling

Retinal remodeling refers to the changes that occur in the structure and function of the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, often in response to injury or disease. This process can involve alterations in the arrangement of cells, the loss of certain types of cells, and the creation of new connections among surviving cells. While these changes can sometimes allow the retina to adapt to damage, they may also contribute to vision loss. Understanding retinal remodeling is crucial for developing therapies for eye diseases like retinal degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
