Abstract

The retina may be a useful model system for the rapid testing of potentially neuroregenerative agents. We tested 24 different pharmacologic agents for their ability to promote regeneration of severed optic axons in the adult mouse retina. In this initial series of 738 mice, these agents were ineffective in reducing scar formation, stimulating axonal elongation, improving axonal guidance or retarding retrograde degeneration.
