Researchers have identified hundreds of proteins that are consistently transported throughout the healthy brain via small membrane-enclosed sacs. The findings reveal a new form of communication between brain cells.
A new artificial intelligence algorithm can detect the progression of glaucoma up to 18 months earlier than conventional methods.
Exposing retinal pigment epithelium cells in mouse models to amyloid-beta resulted in retinal pathologies similar to those seen in human age-related macular degeneration.
Players of the popular online brain mapping game Eyewire have assisted in identifying six new neuron types, researchers report.
Researchers have successfully developed a method which allows stem cells to spontaneously grow into human retina cells.
Researchers have developed a new method that efficiently turns human stem cells into retinal ganglion cells.
Lab-created retinal cells created from human stem cells can reach out and connect to neighboring cells, a new study reports. The cells have the capacity to replace damaged retinal cells and carry sensory information. The findings could pave the way for clinical trials for the treatment of a range of diseases associated with vision loss and blindness.
Researchers transfer genes into muller glial cells to activate stem cells properties and cause them to reproduce.
Researchers report they have successfully transplanted retinal pigment cells derived from stem cells without rejection or the need of immunosuppressant drugs.
