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).

"Our study demonstrates that retinal dysfunction occurs in the APOE4 mouse model, mirroring aspects of Alzheimer's pathology," Abhyankar said. "These results underscore the potential of retinal ...

Prior research using Aipl1-deficient mouse models and human retinal organoids demonstrated partial restoration of photoreceptor function through gene therapy. Four children aged 1.0 to 2.8 years ...

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 ...

This study demonstrates the critical role of Afadin on the generation and maintenance of complex cellular layers in the mouse retina. The data are solid, which provides important insights into how ...

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 ...

Institute of Molecular Medicine, Shanghai Key Laboratory for Nucleic Acid Chemistry and Nanomedicine, and Department of Ophthalmology, Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University ...

One of the most significant discoveries in the study was the identification of two mouse strains that closely resemble human retinal diseases. By performing eye exams—like what a human would ...

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 ...
