When injected into mice with retinal disease, the special retinal blood cells integrated into the damaged tissue to ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel ...

Biomedical engineers use iPSCs to grow specialized retinal endothelial cells, successfully regenerating damaged eye blood ...

Preclinical study showed iRECs Integrated into host vascular network and revascularized the ischemic eye, rescuing the tissue.

Degeneration of retinal ganglion cells can cause irreversible vision loss. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) could, in theory, be used to replace lost ganglion cells. However, past attempts at injection ...

Blind people have been offered fresh hope of seeing again after lab-grown cells restored retinal function in mice. The ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse ...

Bedside OCT in preterm infants links retinal thickness to motor, cognition, and autism risk at age 2, hinting at earlier ...

During retinal development, Setd8 safeguards chromatin accessibility through the histone marker H4K20me1. When Setd8 is present (right), genes required for retinal progenitor cell maintenance and DNA ...

For individuals with inherited eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration, the irreversible degeneration of the retina—a layer of photoreceptors at the back of the eye—can ...
