Researchers decipher the retina's neural code for brain communication to create novel, more effective prosthetic retinal device for blindness.
A team of University of California, Berkeley, scientists in collaboration with researchers at the University of Munich and University of Washington, in Seattle, has discovered a chemical that temporarily restores some vision to blind mice, and is working on an improved compound that may someday allow people with degenerative blindness to see again.
Developmental processes are increasingly well-characterized at the molecular and cell biological levels, but how more complex tissues and organs involving...
