Abstract
The retina is the sensory tissue responsible for the first stages of visual processing, with a conserved anatomy and functional architecture among vertebrates. To date, retinal eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma and others, affect nearly 170 million people worldwide, resulting in vision loss and blindness. To tackle retinal disorders, the embryonic retina has been explored as a versatile model to study development, with a broad neurochemical repertoire, approached in the last decades in terms of signaling and diseases. Retina, dissociated and arranged as typical cultures are valuable to understand both neuronal and glial compartments, as mixed or neuron- and glia-enriched, and/or organized as neurospheres and/or as organoids which have contributed to reveal mechanisms between transmitter systems as well as antioxidants, trophic factors, and extracellular matrix proteins. Overall, contributions in understanding neurogenesis, tissue development, differentiation, connectivity, plasticity, and cell death are widely described. A complete access to the genome of several vertebrates, as well the recent transcriptome at the single cell level at different stages of development also anticipates future advances in providing cues to target blinding diseases or retinal dysfunctions.
