From bionic eyes to cell and gene therapies in clinical therapies, it's an exciting time for emerging technologies aiming to ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense. However, researchers at the Flaum Eye Institute and Del Monte Institute for ...

Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...

The deep sea is cold, dark and under immense pressure. Yet life has found a way to prevail there, in the form of some of Earth’s strangest creatures. Since deep-sea critters have adapted to near ...

A team of scientists has revealed a previously unknown type of visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae, an unexpected finding that reshapes more than 150 years of scientific thinking about vertebrate ...

Zebrafish are known to detect color and brightness with the pineal gland, which is part of the brain. How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes ...

Calcium sensor proteins are fundamental modulators of photoreceptor cell function, where they detect fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ levels to finely tune the phototransduction cascade. These ...

Researchers have identified a new type of visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae that challenges a century of knowledge about ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense. However, researchers at the Flaum Eye Institute and Del Monte Institute for ...

National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have developed a digital replica of crucial eye cells, providing a new tool ...
