Researchers have mapped the 3D organization of genetic material of key developmental stages of human retinal formation, using intricate models of a retina grown in the lab. The findings lay a ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital studied the Vsx2 super-enhancer and its role in the development of the retina. Their assessment showed the super-enhancer has four distinct regions ...

What cell types are found in which human tissue, and where? Which genes are active in the individual cells, and which proteins are found there? Answers to these questions and more are to be provided ...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that affects the retina lining the inner eye. The condition can result in changes to blood vessels in the eye, which may damage the ...

Over the last decade, experiments addressing thyroid hormone's role in the retina have generated a sizeable body of data. They have also inspired many more questions that will no doubt be tested in ...

Researchers led by Michiko Mandai at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan have used a genetic modification to improve human-derived retina transplants grown in the lab.

The retina is layered with photoreceptors, a variety of other neurons, and protective and structural membranes, but retinal disorders can tamper with this delicate system. Mutations in the Crumbs ...
