Two new compounds may be able to treat retinitis pigmentosa, a group of inherited eye diseases that cause blindness. The ...

Cell replacement therapy offers ... we are now able to achieve similar results with photoreceptor precursors generated from both mouse and human ESC-derived retinal organoids, and are applying ...

"Some approaches use dissociated photoreceptor cells; others create micro-dissected ... that is already polarized and organized, as in the human embryonic retina." He adds that their method ...

A new study reveals the potential of two compounds in treating retinitis pigmentosa, a blinding genetic disorder. These compounds, identified through virtual screening, have shown promising results in ...

Cone cells are specialized photoreceptor cells found in the retina of the human eye. These cells are critical to the sense of ...

And we use essentially the eye, at least the human eye, like a camera. Instead of a film, you have a retina in the back, with photoreceptor cells, and this makes the eye a very fascinating organ.

They found that short-term functional recovery was detected despite cell engraftment in a confined targeted host retina region. The transplanted human photoreceptor progenitors expressed mature ...
