For the first time, an international research team led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has ...

“The non-invasive in vivo optical imaging of rhodopsin activation extends the diagnostic capability of ORG and may facilitate ...

Several diseases are marked by retinal degeneration that eventually leads to blindness, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa. Targeting these diseases with gene ...

Following gene therapy, the retina can restructure itself and regain normal light responses, according to research in mice published in JNeurosci. These results emphasize the plasticity of the retina ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain retinal cells can rewire themselves when vision begins to deteriorate in ...

Researchers report the discovery of three cell types in the eye that detect light and align the brain's circadian rhythm to our ambient light. The study marks the first direct assessment in humans of ...

Retinal cell transplants are considered to be an attractive approach for treating blindness. Question is, where do you source the cells? An international research team of scientists from Singapore’s ...

Note: The video above shows a three-dimensional rotating view of three different cell types in the retina. The Campana cell (center) is shown flanked by two other cell classes that it is similar to, a ...
