This disrupts normal cell metabolism, leading to the death of photoreceptor cells and, eventually, geographic atrophy, which causes irreversible vision loss. Wet macular degeneration accounts for ...

They were one of the first groups of creatures to develop complex, compound eyes, where many individual lenses focus light onto groups of photoreceptor cells. This group of hard-shelled prehistoric ...

Researchers have linked eight cases of sudden and severe bilateral vision loss in young children in China to a novel type of ...

many mutations in rod photoreceptor-specific genes cause degeneration of other neuronal types. Identifying mechanisms of cell–cell interactions initiated by rod-specific mutations and affecting ...

The disease, he said, involved the gradual deterioration of the retina, the thin sheet of photoreceptor cells at the back of the eye that turn light into electrical brain signals. As these cells ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...
