Base editing corrected a mutation that causes macular degeneration, highlighting the potential of gene therapy to treat ...

Researchers successfully pulled off the first eye stem cell transplants to help heal cornea damage, and the results speak for themselves.

In celebration of Ophthalmology Times 50th anniversary, we asked leading experts in the field what they see as the biggest ...

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

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 ...

It is here, in the layer of photoreceptors—cones and rods—that ... allowing sodium and calcium ions to flow into the cell. When light reaches the retina, the rhodopsin signaling pathway is activated ...

Surgeons took stem cells from a healthy eye and transplanted them into the injured eye, successfully repairing "irreversible" ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

In this new process, stem cells taken from a person's healthy eye can be used to rebuild the cornea in their damaged eye, researchers reported March 4 in the journal Nature Communications. The ...
