Several companies are experimenting with optogenetics to create a “bionic eye” that can restore sight in visually impaired ...

Lawrence Sincich, PhD, is using an adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope to study the functional properties of cone photoreceptors in the living eye. With this instrument, it is possible to ...

Announced in late April, printing giant Xerox said in their first quarter report that they will be cutting manufacturing of ...

Testing including adaptive optics (AO) and optimal coherence tomography (OCT) imaging technology revealed that certain photoreceptors in his retina were damaged. Photoreceptors are cells in the ...

The locus coeruleus (LC) is a small region of the brainstem that produces norepinephrine, a chemical with powerful effects on ...

Cells in the retina called photoreceptors absorb that light, converting it into an electrical signal that travels to the brain and tells us what we’re seeing. The sun, however, has a lot of light.

Implanting tiny solar cells in people's eyes might sound like a futuristic idea, but it's what Australian scientists are ...

They are called photoreceptors. So looking directly at the sun will literally burn your photoreceptors and cause damage to those cells or make them stop functioning." He likened the damage that ...

Vesigen will present preclinical data demonstrating successful biodistribution of its engineered ARMMs to non-human primate ...

Additional data from the Phase 2 ARCHER trial demonstrating protection of visual acuity and anatomical structure following ANX007 treatment will be featured as an oral presentation New preclinical ...

Light enters the front of the eye and is focused onto the retina in the back of the eye. Photoreceptors in the retina convert light into an electrical signal that travels to the brain, which ...
