Experts are investigating how cells called Muller glial cells, responsible for regenerating a damaged zebrafish retina, acquire stem cell properties with the hope of eventually developing techniques ...
Some animals in the world have a pretty cool superpower: the ability to regenerate. Salamanders can regrow lost tails, for ...
Neuronal degeneration leading to visual impairment or blindness remains a critical challenge in human health. Unlike humans, zebrafish possess a remarkable ability to regenerate retinal neurons after ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 21 (May 25, 2021), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) Loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) because of ...
In humans and other mammals, loss of neurons in the retina due to trauma or disease is an irreversible process that can lead to blindness. But unlike humans, some animals, such as fish, have the ...
Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...
Our eyes could potentially be coaxed into a special repair mode above and beyond our natural self-healing abilities, according to a new study, thanks to the delivery of antibodies that trigger nerve ...
KOBE, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VCCT Inc.(President: Masayo Takahashi) is pleased to announce the completion of a private equity allotment of approximately 600 million yen ($4 million USD). The ...
Although mammalian retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) normally cannot regenerate axons nor survive after optic nerve injury, this failure is partially reversed by inducing sterile inflammation in the eye.
By studying what other creatures can already achieve, researchers hope to uncover breakthroughs in human medicine and turn ...
The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Ksenia Gnedeva, PhD, published in the Proceedings of the ...
