Scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to create a 3D 'scaffold' to grow cells from the retina -- paving the way for potential new ways of treating a common cause of blindness. Scientists ...

The retina is a multilayered, highly heterogeneous neuronal tissue with intricate cellular interactions. Single-cell multiomics allows us to take steps toward understanding the biology of this complex ...

A clinical trial is investigating whether a stem cell-derived patch can replace disease-damaged cells and restore vision. Age-related macular degeneration is a steadily worsening eye disease and the ...

Eye needs to stop growing at precisely the right time during childhood Cell could be over stimulated by indoor light spectrum Discovery could lead to a new therapeutic target to control myopia CHICAGO ...

This stunning image may look like a particularly lively Jackson Pollock painting, but it’s actually an example of a new cell imaging technique. The subject? A human retina. In fluorescence microscopy, ...

Fusing human retinal cells with adult stem cells could be a potential therapeutic strategy to treat retinal damage and visual impairment, according to the findings of a new study. The hybrid cells ...

The eye is an organ that's easy to access, and biologists have been able to study it in detail. Light is sensed by special cells that are photoreceptors, and the information they collect is converted ...

LONDON (Reuters) - British and American scientists have restored vision in blind mice by transplanting light-sensitive cells into their eyes in a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments of ...

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, ...

Note: The video above shows a three-dimensional rotating view of three different cell types in the retina. The Campana cell (center) is shown flanked by two other cell classes that it is similar to, a ...
