Prof. So is one of the pioneers in the field of axonal regeneration in visual system. He was the first to show lengthy regeneration of retinal ganglion cells in adult mammals with peripheral nerve graft. His team identifies neuroprotective and regenerative factors including: exercise, wolfberry, neurotrophic factors, peptide nanofiber scaffold, and environmental manipulation. His team currently focuses on the use of exercise, light therapy and Wolfberry polysaccharides to treat depression.
