Figure Lengend Snippet: Subconjunctival BiRDS rescued retinal neurons in the OIR mouse model. a Schematic diagram of retinal neuron detection via immunofluorescence after subconjunctival injection of BiRDs. b Retinas from OIR mice were visualized through immunofluorescence staining at P17. Representative images of GFAP+ glial cells (red) and tuj1+ RGCs (green) in retinal sections (top), PKC-α+ rod bipolar cells (green) and rhodopsin+ rod cells (red) (middle), and calbindin+ horizontal cells (green) (bottom). DAPI (blue) was used to stain the retinal layers. c – g Semiquantification of immunofluorescence intensity in glial cells ( c ), RGCs ( d ), rod bipolar cells ( e ), rod photoreceptor cells ( f ), and horizontal cells ( g ). Scale bars = 50 μm. Mean ± SD. n = 6. **** p < 0.0001, ** p < 0.01
