Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery. Vision ...

New preclinical data presented demonstrate the candidates’ therapeutic potential as innovative treatments for retinal vascular diseases, such as DME and wAMD, providing potent and long-lasting ...

Degeneration of retinal ganglion cells can cause irreversible vision loss. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) could, in theory, be ...

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 hybrid retinal implant using stem-cell-derived neurons and microelectrodes lowers activation thresholds and improves signal precision, offering a more natural interface for high-resolution vision ...

Three 2026 Breakthrough Prize winners reflect on developing Luxturna, a gene therapy that treats blindness caused by rare ...

During retinal development, Setd8 safeguards chromatin accessibility through the histone marker H4K20me1. When Setd8 is present (right), genes required for retinal progenitor cell maintenance and DNA ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol, together with collaborators at London’s Global University Institute of Ophthalmology, and the University of Bristol spin-out Cirrus Therapeutics, have ...

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 ...

Most of us take vision for granted. It allows us to read, drive, and recognize faces. But for people with a rare retinal ...
