Scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to create a 3D 'scaffold' to grow cells from the retina -- paving the way for potential new ways of treating a common cause of blindness. Scientists ...

Scientists at USC are launching a new trial to test a tiny stem cell implant that could restore vision in people with advanced dry macular degeneration. The hair-thin patch replaces damaged retinal ...

The retina is a multilayered, highly heterogeneous neuronal tissue with intricate cellular interactions. Single-cell multiomics allows us to take steps toward understanding the biology of this complex ...

This stunning image may look like a particularly lively Jackson Pollock painting, but it’s actually an example of a new cell imaging technique. The subject? A human retina. In fluorescence microscopy, ...

LONDON (Reuters) - British and American scientists have restored vision in blind mice by transplanting light-sensitive cells into their eyes in a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments of ...

Eye needs to stop growing at precisely the right time during childhood Cell could be over stimulated by indoor light spectrum Discovery could lead to a new therapeutic target to control myopia CHICAGO ...

The retina is the light-sensing part of the visual system and is composed of six neuron types and several non-neuronal cell types, with an estimated over 100 subtypes exist based on cell morphology, ...

The eye is an organ that's easy to access, and biologists have been able to study it in detail. Light is sensed by special cells that are photoreceptors, and the information they collect is converted ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 17 (April 28, 2020), pp. 9577-9583 (7 pages) Amacrine cells are a diverse population of interneurons in ...

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 ...
