Success of optic nerve regeneration might also open the door to future strategies of eye transplantation. In addition, because of its easy access, the optic nerve has long served as a standard model for the study of spinal cord injury and regeneration in lab animals. Only recently has it become accepted that the failure of the optic nerve to regenerate is not a single-factor event.", "Essential to Vision. The optic nerve is essential to vision. It is the pathway responsible for transmitting light and color from the outside world, through the retina at the back of the eye, to the brain. The brain, in turn, interprets these impulses as images. Without this vital bundle of nerve cells, vision is impossible. Until Now, Damage has been Permanent. Like all parts of the central nervous system, the optic nerve can continue to grow and regenerate before birth, but sometime after it is fully developed, it loses that ability. It stops growing and can no longer repair itself.", "If optic nerves are damaged, they respond by forming scar tissue, and regenerating nerve fibers cannot grow through the scar. To get around the scar tissue, researchers have taken nerve grafts from the peripheral nervous system, and used them to bridge areas of damaged optic nerves in rodents such as rats. In goldfish, the optic nerve can regenerate after injury. Molecular factors involved in structural support, gene regulation, and nerve fiber growth are produced in the goldfish optic nerve after injury. In fish, these factors are produced over a long period of time, allowing repair and regrowth", "The nervous system is divided into the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Fortunately, damaged peripheral nerves can regenerate after injury. However, the optic nerve and the spinal cord are in the central nervous system, and unfortunately cannot regenerate after injury. This is thought to be a result of inhibitory factors that are produced by cells that normally support the nerve fibers. In goldfish, the optic nerve can regenerate after injury. Molecular factors involved in structural support, gene regulation, and nerve fiber growth are produced in the goldfish optic nerve after injury. In fish, these factors are produced over a long period of time, allowing repair and regrowth", "For example, in animals such as fish and frogs, an injured optic nerve regenerates fully, allowing for a complete restoration of vision. In mammals, it has been shown that retinal ganglion cells, when put under conditions found in the peripheral nervous system, can successfully regenerate their axons. It is there that the electrical impulses are interpreted into sight. Damage to the optic nerve interrupts this flow of visual information. In glaucoma, researchers believe that the ganglion cells of the retina, as well as the support cells within the optic nerve, can die for various reasons.", "Findings in mice suggests hope for patients with glaucoma, optic nerve damage. Boston, Mass. -- Researchers have long tried to get the optic nerve to regenerate when injured, with some success, but no one has been able to demonstrate recovery of vision. “Sixteen years ago, people said it was impossible to get any regeneration in the optic nerve,” notes Benowitz, also director of the Laboratories for Neuroscience Research in Neurosurgery at Boston Children’s Hospital.", "Figure 1.

Longitudinal sections through the rat optic nerve were stained with antibodies to the protein GAP-43 2 weeks after optic nerve injury to visualize regenerating axons. Asterisks denote the injury site. (a) Almost ... Altering intracellular signaling can promote optic nerve regeneration. The signaling pathways that enable RGCs to regenerate their axons are beginning to emerge. Mst3b, a purine-sensitive protein kinase, plays a central role in the signal transduction pathway through which trophic factors induce axon growth.", "Dr. Benowitz and his group have, for the first time, established proof-of-concept that a damaged optic nerve can regenerate and attain lost function,” says Nareej Agarwal, PhD, of the National Eye Institute, which supported the study. “Sixteen years ago, people said it was impossible to get any regeneration in the optic nerve,” notes Benowitz, also director of the Laboratories for Neuroscience Research in Neurosurgery at Boston Children’s Hospital.", "Unfortunately, with what we know today, we cannot restore vision lost from glaucoma.

The numerator is the top number in a fraction, and the denominator is the bottom number. For example, in the fraction 3/5, the numerator is 3, and the denominator 5. However, a fraction is also an expression of division. The value of a fraction is equal to the numerator divided by the denominator. So 3/5 is equal to 3 divided by 5, or 0.6. Remember that a fraction is just division of the numerator by the denominator. When you divide a number by a power of 10, you move the decimal point one place to the left for each zero.
