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 ...

US FDA grants Orphan Drug Designation to BlueRock Therapeutics’ investigational cell therapy OpCT-001 to treat retinitis pigmentosa: Berlin, Germany Friday, January 23, 2026, 09 ...

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 ...

Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed fovea, is responsible for sharp vision. Here, the color-sensitive cone ...

Geographic atrophy is a growing worldwide health issue, with approximately 8 million patients impacted, according to a ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain retinal cells can rewire themselves when vision begins to deteriorate in ...

For the first time, an international research team led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has recorded a tiny mechanical "twitch" in living human and rodent eyes at the ...

“The non-invasive in vivo optical imaging of rhodopsin activation extends the diagnostic capability of ORG and may facilitate ...

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of monogenic disorders caused by mutations in more than 280 genes, and are characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina.

(Left panels) Cone mosaic pattern in adult zebrafish showing a lattice-like regular arrangement of four cone cell types. (Right panels) Cone mosaic pattern in fish lacking the Dscamb gene on either or ...
