Experience of Teaching and Training in Substitutive Approaches to Animal Testing. Over a period of more than 20 years, Dr. Bassi Team at University of Genoa has promoted several activities in Academia on the Replacement of Animal Testing. For example, a 2-day training course, lectures within teaching programs, work experience opportunities for...

Primary open-angle glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Increasing evidence suggests oxidative damage and immune response defects are key factors contributing to glaucoma onset. Indeed, both the failure of the trabecular meshwork tissue in the conventional outflow pathway and the neuroinflammation process,...

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by vision loss, due to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death. The RGCs are the first retinal neurons generated during development from multipotent retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), followed by other retinal cells type, i.e. bipolar, horizontal and amacrine cells, Muller glial cells, and cone/rod...

Glaucoma is a multifactorial syndrome in which the development of pro-apoptotic signals are the causes for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss. Most of the research progress in the glaucoma field have been based on experimentally inducible glaucoma animal models, which provided results about RGC loss after either the crash of the optic nerve or...

1 year from its creation, the 3 Interuniversity Center (Centro3R, www.centro3r.en), boasts some 300 members from Turin and Milan Polytechnic (PolyTO and PolyMI), the Milan-Bicocca (MIBi) and Pavia University (UniPV) and other researchers from other Academia will shortly join this network. On 20th-21st June 2018, the 2nd Annual meeting "3Rs...
