Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery. Vision ...

Cell replacement therapy offers new hope for millions of people affected by retinal degenerations (RDs)—a group of blinding conditions caused by the loss of light-sensing photoreceptor cells in the ...

During retinal development, Setd8 safeguards chromatin accessibility through the histone marker H4K20me1. When Setd8 is present (right), genes required for retinal progenitor cell maintenance and DNA ...

A hybrid retinal implant using stem-cell-derived neurons and microelectrodes lowers activation thresholds and improves signal precision, offering a more natural interface for high-resolution vision ...

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...

A new paper published in the journal Current Biology suggests that the complex paired eyes of humans and other vertebrates ...

What if your eyes could use light to heal themselves? Drawing inspiration from how plants harness sunlight, researchers at ...

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 new color, "olo," is a hyper-saturated version of blue-green Getty Scientists conducting targeted retinal stimulation claim to have discovered a new color. In a study published in Science Advances ...

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 ...
