Children with a rare form of eye disorder who were born blind can now see thanks to a "remarkable" gene therapy breakthrough. Researchers from London's Moorfields Eye Hospital, biotech firm MeiraGTx ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

"While there was gradual recovery in the macula, the peripheral photoreceptor cells did not recover, ultimately resulting in macular sparing that was associated with maintained central vision ...

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 ...

an allogeneic auditory neuron progenitor cells transplant for hearing loss, and PNC1, an allogeneic photoreceptor cell transplant for vision loss. Market Capitalization Analysis: Below industry ...

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 ...
