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 ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye, and it marks the first of a three-part series on dry ...

Researchers at the University of Twente and Radboudumc are developing a promising new model to enhance understanding of the ...

Scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to create a 3D ‘scaffold’ to grow cells from the retina –paving the way for potential new ways of treating a common cause of blindness. Researchers, ...

This stunning image may look like a particularly lively Jackson Pollock painting, but it’s actually an example of a new cell imaging technique. The subject? A human retina. In fluorescence microscopy, ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach that allows stem cells to be turned into retinal ganglion cells that are capable of migrating and surviving in the eye's retina. This approach presents a ...

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, ...

Karthik Shekhar and his colleagues raised a few eyebrows as they collected cow and pig eyes from Boston butchers, but those eyes — eventually from 17 separate species, including humans — are providing ...
