Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision.

There’s an old saying, attributed to writers from Cicero to Shakespeare, that says the eyes are the windows to the soul. But it may be more accurate to say that your eyes, and in particular your ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho Seong) has developed a retina-mimicking eye phantom* that faithfully replicates the structural layers and microvascular ...

Researchers have developed a new way to study CLN3-Batten disease, a rare inherited condition that causes early vision loss in children followed by progressive neurological decline. Their findings ...

Daniel Palanker, PhD, professor of ophthalmology, has dedicated his esteemed career to advancing our understanding of the retina, the part of our eyes that captures light and converts it into ...

A gene therapy that targets a form of retinitis pigmentosa showed a signal to improve retinal function for up to 3 years after treatment, according to a small clinical trial. The phase 2 SKYLINE trial ...

Treatment shows potential to slow the progression of human degenerative eye diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed eye drops ...

Until now, it has been difficult to maintain retinal ganglion cells deep inside organoids over extended periods. The supply of nutrients and oxygen in the densely packed tissues is limited, leading to ...
