Researchers led by Michiko Mandai at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan have used a genetic modification to improve human-derived retina transplants grown in the lab.
Retinitis pigmentosa retinal degeneration is caused by a family of hereditary mutations in nearly 100 genes that slowly lead to blindness over years or decades. One of those genes encodes the enzyme ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
In a study funded by the National Institutes of Health, researchers at Brown University suggest that gold nanoparticles (microscopic gold particles thousands of times thinner than a human hair) could ...
Scientists have identified distinct functions for regions of a super-enhancer that controls gene expression during retina formation, calling it a 'modular' super-enhancer. Enhancers are regions of DNA ...
