Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

Photoreceptor death leads to inherited blinding retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP). As disease progression often outpaces therapeutic advances, developing effective treatments is ...

Retinal degeneration comprises a diverse group of progressive disorders leading to visual impairment and ultimately blindness. These include inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs), diabetic retinopathy ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense. However, researchers at the Flaum Eye Institute and Del Monte Institute for ...

Currently, there is no cure but several treatments aim to slow the progression of the disease and preserve vision.

Restoring the lipid molecule erucamide via nanoparticles activates immune cells to slow retinal degeneration and vision loss.

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have uncovered how mutations in a specific gene can trigger a rare respiratory disease, shedding light on the critical role ...

Researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects color. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, ...

Using patient-derived cells and advanced imaging, researchers showed that RPGR mutations disrupt cilia coordination and ...
