July 18, 2022 —Loss of the protein pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which protects retinal support cells, may drive age-related changes in the retina, according to a new ...
Dec. 20, 2022 —Experts are investigating how cells called Muller glial cells, responsible for regenerating a damaged zebrafish retina, acquire stem cell properties with the hope of eventually developing techniques ...
Mar. 8, 2022 —Chronically stressing the retina can weaken it and damage our ability to see. But retinal cells have a remarkable ability to wall off damage, a team of neuroscientists reports. The walling-off or ...
Nov. 23, 2020 —A simple eye exam combined with powerful artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning technology could provide early detection of Parkinson's disease, according to new ...
Aug. 12, 2020 —A new mechanism of blood redistribution that is essential for the proper functioning of the adult retina has just been discovered in ...
Jan. 14, 2021 —In experiments in mouse tissues and human cells, researchers say they have found that removing a membrane that lines the back of the eye may improve the success rate for regrowing nerve cells damaged ...
Mar. 15, 2022 —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 ...
Mar. 23, 2022 —Researchers have identified a gene necessary for the survival of retinal ganglion cells -- a class of neurons located in the retina that are critical for ...
Jan. 27, 2022 —Researchers have discovered that the absence of Adiponectin receptor 1 protein (AdipoR1), one of the principal enzymes regulating ceramide homeostasis in the retina, leads to an accumulation of ...
June 29, 2021 —Researchers have discovered that the visual cortex of mice contains a region of enhanced visual sensitivity dubbed the 'focea', making the mouse a better model of human vision than ...
