Raised blood sugar levels are generally considered to be bad for nerve cells, especially those in the eye. But we have made a groundbreaking discovery finding that in the short-term, sugar can rescue nerve cells in the eye from death caused by lack of blood flow. In this project we will investigate how this remarkable effect is achieved.

血糖水平升高通常被认为对神经细胞有害，尤其是眼睛中的神经细胞。但是我们有了一个突破性的发现，在短期内，糖可以拯救眼睛中的神经细胞，使其免于因缺乏血液流动而死亡。在这个项目中，我们将研究如何实现这一显着的效果。
