Lutein is more than an eye-protecting nutrient. New research reveals its role in brain health and disease prevention. Learn ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) and IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino has demonstrated the effectiveness of ...

Researchers have conducted one of the largest eye studies in the world to reveal new insights into retinal thickness, highlighting its potential in the early detection of diseases like type 2 diabetes ...

In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore to normal function tissues and ... the central part of the retina responsible for precise and detailed ...

may affect retina function. Similarly, new treatments for eye diseases must undergo rigorous safety testing. Animal and human ex-vivo models can be used to study retinal toxicity, but they are ...

Two new compounds may be able to treat retinitis pigmentosa, a group of inherited eye diseases that cause blindness. The compounds were identified using a virtual screening approach.

“One of the most important known PCDs is retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which is a blinding disease associated with mutations in the rod opsin (RHO) gene among other retina-specific genes.

In their last study, IIT's research group saw for the first time that Ziapin2 also acts in a similar manner on neurons in the inner retina unaffected by degeneration, particularly at the bipolar ...
