Neurovascular degeneration results in vascular dysfunction, leakage, ischemia, and structural changes that can lead to significant visual impairment. We previously showed the protective effects of peptain-1, a 20 amino acid peptide derived from the αB-crystallin core domain, on retinal ganglion cells in two animal models of glaucoma. Here, we evaluated the ability of peptain-1 to block apoptosis of human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs)
