Researchers analyzed the genetic connection of retinal cells and several neuropsychiatric disorders. By combining different datasets, they found that schizophrenia risk genes were associated with ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel ...

Loss of neurons in in the retina due to trauma or disease leads to vision impairment or blindness, a process which is irreversible in humans. Interestingly, some animals like fish have the built-in ...

Preclinical study showed iRECs Integrated into host vascular network and revascularized the ischemic eye, rescuing the tissue.

Scientists have known for years that a lattice of blood vessels nourishes cells in the retina that allow us to see – but it’s been a mystery how the intricate structure is created. Now, researchers at ...

Biomedical engineers use iPSCs to grow specialized retinal endothelial cells, successfully regenerating damaged eye blood vessels.

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, ...

It could 'pave the way for new therapeutic approaches.' ...

Orientation or axial selectivity, the property of neurons in the visual system to respond preferentially to certain angles of visual stimuli, plays a pivotal role in our understanding of visual ...

McGill University researchers have developed a light-detecting nanoscale structure that mimics how a neuron processes ...

“Overall, our study provides a proof-of-principle that human glia can be reprogrammed to cells that are capable of making new neurons," said Thomas Reh, PhD, University of Washington, USA. "This opens ...
