Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that ...

Researchers discovered that abnormal tau proteins accumulate in the retinal ganglion cells of Alzheimer’s patients, linking ...

Researchers have developed pig retinal organoids to understand how stem cell-derived photoreceptor cells work as a ...

The center–surround receptive-field organization in retinal ganglion cells is widely believed to result mainly from lateral inhibition at the first synaptic level (in the outer retina).

Researchers developed pig retinal organoids similar to human ones, advancing stem cell-based vision restoration and enabling ...

While diabetic retinopathy is typically associated with vascular damage, recent work has shown that the density of retinal ganglion cells is also reduced in diabetes prior to the development of ...

"When we saw unique changes in NZO's retinal ganglion cells at the molecular level, sure enough, we saw drastic functional changes in those cells." These models will allow researchers to study how ...

One area where it is making a difference is in the understanding of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss in optic nerve disorders like glaucoma. Effective strategies for retinal repair and ...

These changes were found in people who had very mild or no cognitive symptoms, suggesting that the retina could act as an ...

Poor retinal health in midlife is associated with increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias later on, ...
