However, only hNRSCs could turn into other types of retinal cells under the right conditions. In a separate experiment, the researchers grew miniature replicas of the human retina in petri dishes.

Two major types of retinal implants have been developed: bioelectronic and photovoltaic. Bioelectronic implants capture light from an image, transform it into electrical impulses, and transmit it ...

Advancements in anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy are transforming the management of retinal diseases by improving patient outcomes and reducing treatment burden, according ...

Hundreds of genes play a role in inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD). That includes a set of rare eye disorders passed down through the DNA of families. Genetic testing for IRD may help your eye ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people.

Access free, up-to-date clinical references on differential diagnosis and diagnostic criteria for geographic atrophy. Healio's Clinical Guidance content provides valuable insights for physicians.

In a comparative analysis across vertebrates of the many cell types in the retina -- mice alone have 130 types -- researchers concluded that most cell types have an ancient evolutionary history.

Researchers have conducted one of the largest eye studies in the world to reveal new insights into retinal thickness, highlighting its potential in the early detection of diseases like type 2 ...

While not a cure, this study shows that PEDF-based eye drops can slow progression of a variety of degenerative retinal diseases in animals, including various types of retinitis pigmentosa and dry ...
