We investigated the cone- and rod-mediated mfERG in 17 eyes of 17 subjects with early ARM and 16 eyes of 16 age-matched control subjects with normal fundi. All subjects had a visual acuity of 6/12 or ...

Six-Month Clinical Data Demonstrate Restoration of Cone-Mediated Vision in Pediatric LCA5 Patients, with Sensitivity Improvements Reaching Normal ...

Gene therapy has partly restored the function of the retina's cone receptors in two children who were born completely colourblind, reports a new study. Gene therapy has partly restored the function of ...

A study on ground squirrels shows, not only do mitochondria produce bioenergy in the cone-shaped photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, they also act as micro-lenses that redirect light to the ...

Researchers identified a retinal disease to evaluate the success of gene and cell replacement therapy. In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, ...

Gene therapy restored colour vision to colourblind children with the inherited retinal disorder achromatopsia, in the first trial of its kind in two paediatric patients. The finding shows that gene ...

In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, daylight vision, and the perception of small details. As vision scientists from the Division of ...

Share on Pinterest New research involving cones and rods in the retina could lead to new treatments for vision loss. Gregory Adams/Getty Images Cone photoreceptors in retinal degeneration have been ...

New UCLA research in mice suggests that "dormant" cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal ...
