has shown that stem cells can be differentiated into retinal cells and three-dimensional (3D) retinal organoids with all the major retinal cell types. These technological advances offer an ...

USC researchers use 3D microscopy and genetically engineered viruses to visualize and distinguish specific retinal ganglion cell types (shown here in green) from other cells in the retina (purple).

The processing of optical information in the retina of the eye, where the light-sensitive photoreceptors and the first nerve ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) and ...

It also disrupts blood vessels that are situated behind the retina. This disrupts normal cell metabolism, leading to the death of photoreceptor cells and, eventually, geographic atrophy ...

In most cases, loss of vision is caused by damage to the macula, a region in the center of the retina. The macula is rich in cone photoreceptors—cells important for perceiving color and seeing ...

The retina is a layered structure that lines the inner surface of the eye. It consists of layers of neurons: light-sensitive photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells ...

have dramatically reduced retinal function according to electroretinogram (ERG) recordings (Côté et al, 2005; Smith and Côté, 2012). Interestingly, the visual defect originates at the level of the ...
