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 ...

Note: The video above shows a three-dimensional rotating view of three different cell types in the retina. The Campana cell (center) is shown flanked by two other cell classes that it is similar to, a ...

Zebrafish eyes are similar to ours. We share all the major structures, such as a single lens to focus light, a retina with photoreceptor cells to detect light, and a liquid-filled cavity between the ...

A first-of-its-kind trial is testing adult stem cell transplants for advanced dry macular degeneration. Early results show the treatment is safe and can significantly improve vision, even in severely ...

Researchers at the Eye Genetics Research Unit at Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) are the first in the world to ...

In a first-in-human phase 1/2a clinical trial, researchers used adult stem cells to help restore vision in people with age-related macular degeneration. In the United States, age-related macular degen ...
