Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense. However, researchers at the Flaum Eye Institute and Del Monte Institute for ...

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.

Light damaged retina cone photoreceptors will spread the death signal to neighbor cells and cause irrevocable hurts in a 24-hour period. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

Millions of people suffer from retinal disorders, such as macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. A new study suggests that injecting gold nanoparticles into the retina and stimulating those ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...
