Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. This story also starts a series ...

The nerve fiber layer of a mouse retina: glial cells are green, ganglion DNA and RNA are orange, optic nerve fibers are red, and actin in blood vessels is blue.

Upregulated expression of transcription factors promoting cone identity in late-stage retinal progenitors drives development ...

Cells within an injured mouse eye can be coaxed into regenerating neurons and those new neurons appear to integrate themselves into the eye's circuitry, new research shows. The findings potentially ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have identified what may be an ancient light-sensing mechanism in modern mouse retinal cells. "Some evolutionary biologists have proposed that ancient ...

Schematics and representative images of ex vivo stimulation and neural signal recording from the mouse retina. a Schematic illustration showing the insertion of the bipolar microneedle electrode array ...

The retina is often referred to as an "outpost of the brain"—after all, important steps in visual signal processing do not take place in the cerebrum, but in the nerve cells in the eye. When light ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach that allows stem cells to be turned into retinal ganglion cells that are capable of migrating and surviving in the eye's retina. This approach presents a ...
