Eye diseases often develop asymptomatically for many years. ICTER scientists have developed the f-ORG technique, which ...

The study introduces new tools for measuring the intracellular calcium concentration close to transmitter release sites, which may be relevant for synaptic vesicle fusion and replenishment. This ...

A team of scientists has identified that an eye condition affecting the retina, the light-sensing tissue in the back of the eye, may serve as an early indicator for Alzheimer's disease.

If you experience any of the symptoms of a retinal detachment, seek medical attention immediately. Time is of the essence in the treatment of a retinal detachment. Early treatment can improve the ...

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).

Ophthalmological examination of the right eye revealed a bilateral visual acuity of 20/400. Fundoscopic examination showed peripapillary retinal flame hemorrhage in the inferior temporal quadrant, ...

Despite it being a common medical procedure since it was revolutionized in the 1950s, retinal detachment surgery hasn't been available in New Brunswick hospitals — until now. On Jan.

In it, the researchers discovered that pistachios are found to be rich in lutein, a plant pigment with chemical ... preferentially concentrated in the retina and helps filter out damaging ...

RPESC-RPE-4W is derived from adult retinal pigment epithelial stem cells, aiming to replace lost RPE cells in AMD progression. The RPESC program is currently in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial, with early ...

Talking to your eye doctor as soon as you notice symptoms can help prevent complications such as a retinal tear. In stage I, the vitreous is partially separated from the macula (the part of the ...

Genetic and protein analyses predict eye diseases One of the most significant discoveries in the study was the identification of two mouse strains that closely resemble human retinal diseases.

Your pupils will be dilated with special medicated eye drops so that the macula and retina can be visualized. The eye doctor may also take digital retinal photographs. A special dye injection test ...
