In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Inherited retinal degeneration (IRD) encompasses various disorders characterized by progressive loss of retinal photoreceptor ...

ICTER scientists have developed the f-ORG technique, which analyzes the retina's reaction to light, helping to detect danger before the first symptoms appear. New research proves that even the ...

A USC research team discovered that a single genetic signal may be preventing both hearing and vision cells from repairing themselves. By turning off this signal in mice, they triggered cell growth in ...

A team of scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed an eye drop that successfully slowed vision ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare inherited condition that causes the gradual death of photoreceptors (light-sensing cells) ...

Researchers have developed eye drops that extend vision in animal models of a group of inherited diseases that lead to progressive vision loss in humans, known as retinitis pigmentosa.

Encelto is small, semi-permeable capsule implanted in the eye that contains allogeneic retinal pigment epithelium cells ...

Once cell loss begins, the majority of photoreceptors die in a week. When given peptide eye drops through that one-week period, mice retained up to 75% of photoreceptors and continued to have ...
