ASP7317 may offer potential to improve vision and repair retina, not just slow down atroph ...

When injected into mice with retinal disease, the special retinal blood cells integrated into the damaged tissue to regenerate blood vessels.

Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision. Damage to the photoreceptors, ...

The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to the brain. During development, all the specialized neurons in the ...

A revolutionary technique to grow eye cells from scratch offers fresh hope for millions at risk of blindness.

Degeneration of retinal ganglion cells can cause irreversible vision loss. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) could, in theory, be used to replace lost ganglion cells. However, past attempts at injection ...

Japanese researchers have successfully used a transplant of human stem cells to close a hole in a key part of a monkey's retina. They say the achievement could pave the way for better treatment of ...

Researchers applied artificial intelligence (AI) to a technique that produces high-resolution images of cells in the eye. They report that with AI, imaging is 100 times faster and improves image ...

For individuals with inherited eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration, the irreversible degeneration of the retina—a layer of photoreceptors at the back of the eye—can ...

THE cone cells that help give us our colourful view of the world have been recorded growing in real-time in a living person’s eye. Cone cells in the retina each carry a stack of membranous discs: as ...
