Using human retinal organoids derived from a human embryonic stem cell line, the team identified a population of cells that had a similar transcriptional profile to hNRSCs in the fetal retina. The ...

A new study identifies how the molecule, called ApoM, can clear harmful cholesterol deposits linked to macular degeneration ...

Finally, the tellurium meshes, especially the infrared vision capability they offered, were tested on healthy macaques, an ...

Scientists have identified never-before-seen cells in the human eye that could potentially help reverse vision loss caused by common diseases, such as macular degeneration. The researchers discovered ...

In a new study, stem cell therapy showed promise at treating small gaps in the macula, the central part of the eye's retina, which can cause distorted or blurred vision.

With funding from the National Institutes of Health, a Johns Hopkins team led by neuroscience Professor Alex Kolodkin is ...

In this new study, published Oct. 3 in the journal Stem Cell Reports, they successfully transplanted retinal tissue derived from human stem cells to close a macular hole in a monkey's eye.

The retina is the layer of cells positioned at the back of your eyeball. This layer senses the light that comes into your eyeball and sends signals to your brain. The key retina parts include the ...
