Stem cell therapies hold promise for promoting regeneration. Retinal stem cells (RSCs) possess self-renewal capabilities and ...

Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye ...

Treatment shows potential to slow the progression of human degenerative eye diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa.

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.

The optics of the human eye impose the first physical limit to vision when projecting the images of the world onto the retina. However, the human eye is a relatively simple optical device with ...

This previously untreatable genetic disorder, which affects some two to three of every 10 million newborn babies, leads to profound visual impairments and legal blindness. In turn, this causes ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare inherited condition that causes the gradual death of photoreceptors (light-sensing cells) ...

A team of scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed an eye drop that successfully slowed vision ...

Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision. Damage to the photoreceptors, ...
