Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan have deployed improved genetically modified human stem cell-derived retinal transplants to treat rats with retinitis ...

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.

A newly developed light-sensing protein called the MCO1 opsin restores vision in blind mice when attached to retina bipolar cells using gene therapy, according to The National Eye Institute, which ...

The study showed that nanoparticles injected into the retina can successfully stimulate the visual system and restore vision in mice with retinal diseases. The findings suggest that a new type of ...

Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain retinal cells can rewire themselves when vision begins to deteriorate in ...
