The vertebrate retina is a highly organised neural circuit, comprising diverse cell types that transform light into the complex neural codes underlying vision. At the forefront are photoreceptors, ...

A research team combining high-energy physicists from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and neuroscientists from the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Calif., has discovered a type of retinal cell ...

Until now, it has been difficult to maintain retinal ganglion cells deep inside organoids over extended periods. The supply of nutrients and oxygen in the densely packed tissues is limited, leading to ...

In a genetic association study, investigators integrated data from genome-wide association studies of various disorders with retinal transcriptomic data. Findings revealed that the polygenic risk of ...

Is parallel visual processing a myth? A new study reveals that bipolar cells in the retina use electrical synapses to ...

The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to the brain. During development, all the specialized neurons in the ...

Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain retinal cells can rewire themselves when vision begins to deteriorate in ...

Cell therapy is an advanced biomedical approach that utilizes living cells as therapeutic agents to treat disease or repair tissue. 4 Scientists isolate cells from a patient or a healthy donor and ...
