A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye ...

In fish and amphibians, the outer edge of the retina houses stem cells that regenerate tissue continuously. Whether a comparable system exists in the human eye has been debated for more than two ...

Stem cell therapies hold promise for promoting regeneration. Retinal stem cells (RSCs) possess self-renewal capabilities and can continuously generate new cells. While lower vertebrates like zebrafish ...

BRINDLEY 1 has shown that in the human eye a part only of the attenuation responsible for flicker fusion phenomenon is localized in the receptor cells.

These findings significantly expand our fundamental scientific understanding of age-related retinal diseases while offering potential new biomarkers ...

the retinal tissues remained viable. These human tissue data provide a key first step supporting human trials of the eye drops. The research was funded by the NEI Intramural Research Program.

A team of researchers has identified a promising new approach that may one day help to restore vision in people affected by macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.

Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision. Damage to the photoreceptors, ...

Shihabeddin et al utilized single-cell RNA-Seq analysis of adult P23H zebrafish animals to identify transcription factors (e2fs, Prdm1a, Sp1) expressed selectively in neural progenitors and immature ...
