Overview

Udo Bartsch is affiliated with Universität Hamburg in Germany. Their research spans multiple disciplines including biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, medicine, and neuroscience. Within these fields, Bartsch has contributed significantly to subfields such as molecular biology, physiology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, neurology, and ophthalmology.

Bartsch's work primarily addresses topics related to retinal development and disorders, lysosomal storage disorders research, nerve injury and regeneration, cellular transport and secretion, retinal diseases and treatments, calcium signaling and nucleotide metabolism, as well as neurogenesis and neuroplasticity mechanisms.

Notable recent publications by Bartsch include:

  • Intravitreal Co-Administration of GDNF and CNTF Confers Synergistic and Long-Lasting Protection against Injury-Induced Cell Death of Retinal Ganglion Cells in Mice, 2020, Cells
  • Ongoing retinal degeneration despite intraventricular enzyme replacement therapy with cerliponase alfa in late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2 disease), 2022, British Journal of Ophthalmology
  • Analysis of cathepsin B and cathepsin L treatment to clear toxic lysosomal protein aggregates in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, 2021, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease
  • Intravitreal gene therapy restores the autophagy-lysosomal pathway and attenuates retinal degeneration in cathepsin D-deficient mice, 2022, Neurobiology of Disease
  • An Ophthalmic Rating Scale to Assess Ocular Involvement in Juvenile CLN3 Disease, 2020, American Journal of Ophthalmology

Bartsch frequently publishes in scientific venues such as:

  • Cells
  • Der Ophthalmologe
  • UNC Libraries
