Eventually, the light-sensitive spot evolved into a retina, the layer of cells and pigment at the back of the human eye. Over time a lens formed at the front of the eye. It could have arisen as a ...

In Greek mythology, a chimera is a grotesque hybrid. But chimeras are not just tales. Here's how some scientists have been ...

A team led by Mount Sinai researchers has identified stem cell populations and mechanisms underlying age-related degeneration ...

Researchers from London's Moorfields Eye Hospital, biotech firm MeiraGTx and University College London have demonstrated that ...

The researchers plan to refine the protocol and test against cells in photoreceptor degeneration that are more closely related to the human eye. If practical, they hope to start clinical trials.

Our brain and eyes can play tricks on us—not least when it comes to the expanding hole illusion. A new computational model ...

That's when we went down the path of proving that they were actually T cells for this study.” To do so, the authors performed Fun-IVCM on healthy human subjects and compared the morphology and ...

A robotic device allows eye surgeons to perform high-precision procedures on the retina, the fragile lining on the back of the eye that is less than a millimeter thick.

A Mount Sinai-led research team has identified underlying mechanisms of age-related dysfunction in glands that are crucial to eye function, a discovery that may lead to new treatment options for dry e ...
