A breakthrough treatment has allowed damaged retinal cells to regenerate themselves. The current research has been conducted on mice, but the pathways are the same in humans, which opens hope for a ...

For individuals with inherited eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration, the irreversible degeneration of the retina—a layer of photoreceptors at the back of the eye—can ...

Human stem cell transplants successfully repaired macular holes in a monkey model, researchers report. After transplantation, the macular holes were closed by continuous filling of the space with ...

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. When you ...

Transplanted human stem cells successfully repaired macular holes in monkey models of the disorder. This is according to a new study from researchers at the Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research at ...

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 ...

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 ...

Transplants from human stem cells have successfully closed a hole in part of a monkey's retina, hoping for a similar therapy in humans, according to a study by Japanese researchers. According to the ...

Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...
