• 6 weeks after optic nerve crush, tamoxifen-treated mice retain their ganglion cell axons and show only 13% loss of ganglion cell layer neurons compared to control animals which show a reduction in ganglion cell axons and a 44% loss of ganglion cell layer neurons; protection of retinal ganglion cell neurons persists at 18 weeks after injury
