There’s an old saying, attributed to writers from Cicero to Shakespeare, that says the eyes are the windows to the soul. But it may be more accurate to say that your eyes, and in particular your ...

A gene therapy that targets a form of retinitis pigmentosa showed a signal to improve retinal function for up to 3 years after treatment, according to a small clinical trial. The phase 2 SKYLINE trial ...

A University of Minnesota Medical School-led research team has discovered that a cancer signaling pathway has previously unrecognized roles in retina and brain blood vessels. The findings were ...

New research in mice suggests that 'dormant' cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal activity ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision.

The aim of these two simultaneous studies was to investigate whether postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) increases retinal and optic nerve head (ONH) blood flow and protects ONH topography and the ...

Scientists have discovered a mechanism by which an area of a protein shape-shifts to convert vitamin A into a form usable by the eye's light-sensing photoreceptor cells. A previously uncharacterized ...

Neural tissue normally dies quickly without oxygen. Yet bird retinas—among the most energy-demanding tissues in the animal kingdom—function permanently without it. This may be relevant in future ...
