New research has found that the endothelial cell-specific A disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10 ...

Toll-like receptors, or TLRs, are the immune system’s early warning sensors. They detect microbial invaders and damage ...

Fixing problems with cholesterol metabolism might help slow or prevent a common cause of age-related vision loss, a new WashU ...

Scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to create a 3D "scaffold" to grow cells from the retina—paving the way for potential new ways of treating a common cause of blindness.

Using the stem cells, the researchers made "retinal sheets" that are enriched in immature versions of the cone photoreceptor cells, which could become mature cone cells when cultured in the lab.

Researchers have used 3D nanotechnology to successfully grow human retinal cells, opening the door to a new way of treating age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in the ...

Using human retinal organoids derived from a human embryonic stem cell line, the team identified a population of cells that had a similar transcriptional profile to hNRSCs in the fetal retina. The ...
