Structural-Functional Correlation in Non-Arteritic Acute Ischemic Optic Neuropathy by Wei J, Zhang L, Wang H, Wang Q, Jia W, Wang R, Wang R, Cui Z

“…Baseline VF MD, VEP P100 amplitude, and minimum GCIPL thickness showed negative correlations with logMAR VA at 3-month follow-up.Conclusion: Retinal ganglion cell layer thickness serves as a valuable indicator to objective evaluate optic nerve function in acute NAION patients. Decreases in both VEP amplitude and mf-ERG response density showed significant correlations with retinal ganglion cell layer thickness. …”

The FcRn from gene to protein and function: comparison between species by Luz Belinda Ortiz-Alegría, Lizbeth Xicoténcatl-García, Irma Cañedo-Solares, Claudia Patricia Rico-Torres, Fernando Gómez-Chávez

“…Most of the specific gamma recognition molecules (FcγRI, II, and III) are known for their roles in phagocytosis and cellular cytotoxicity against various pathogens and transformed cells and in regulating the humoral immune response. Within this family of IgG Fc receptors, there is a structurally similar receptor with different functions: the so-called neonatal receptor for the Fc fraction of IgG, or FcRn, which is primarily associated with IgG and albumin homeostasis, the transfer of immunity from mother to offspring, and the regulation of the immune response in mammals. …”
