Cell replacement therapy offers a therapeutic approach for patients with advanced disease in which there has been loss of photoreceptors, RPE or retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Age-related macular ...

百余年来，任何和视觉相关的教科书都认为哺乳动物图像信息的感光（即“成像视觉”），完全依赖于视网膜中的视锥细胞（cones）和视杆细胞（rods）。这两类传统感光细胞被认为是图像视觉系统的感光核心，负责将光信号转化为神经电信号，传递至大脑进行图像认知处 ...

USC researchers use 3D microscopy and genetically engineered viruses to visualize and distinguish specific retinal ganglion ...

When Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk wanted to study genetic changes in retinal ganglion cells in conditions like glaucoma, she ran into a problem. She needed to isolate individual cells, but ...

百余年来，任何和视觉相关的教科书都认为哺乳动物图像信息的感光（即“成像视觉”），完全依赖于视网膜中的视锥细胞（cones）和视杆细胞（rods）。这两类传统感光细胞被认为是图像视觉系统的感光核心，负责将光信号转化为神经电信号，传递至大脑进行图像认知处理。本世纪初，视网膜中第三类感光细胞—自感光视网膜神经节细胞（intrinsically photosensitive retinal ...

A multinational study led by the LHON Study Group has revealed sustained visual improvements and a favorable safety profile ...

While diabetic retinopathy is typically associated with vascular damage, recent work has shown that the density of retinal ganglion cells is also reduced in diabetes prior to the development of ...

Experiments at TU Wien (Vienna) have now shown that the nerve cells of the retina (the so-called retinal ganglion cells) can take on different roles and thus fulfill individually different tasks ...

known as retinal ON ganglion cells, are responsible for encoding faint light increments. This result reveals the exact division of responsibilities within the retina during a single visual task ...

In the tadpole stage, the eyes are lateral and all ganglion cells project axons to the contralateral side of the brain (retina is denoted by curves, ganglion cell axons are denoted by lines).

If retinal neurons could be regenerated from progenitor cells that live within the adult human body, these patients could have their vision restored. I study the development of retinal ganglion cells, ...
