The ability to see this nearly invisible layer could help doctors identify the onset of many diseases of the eye long before a patient notices symptoms. The findings are reported in Investigative ...

The retina is the layer of cells positioned at the back of your eyeball. This layer senses the light that comes into your eyeball and sends signals to your brain. The key retina parts include the ...

In the womb, a ball of identical cells gives rise to varied cell types that ultimately form highly ordered structures and then the full panoply of organs in the human body. The process advances ...

The development of a retina-on-a-chip, which combines living human cells with an artificial tissue-like system, has been described. The development of a retina-on-a-chip, which combines living ...

There is also a widening of the outer nuclear layer (ONL) — the part of the retina that contains light-sensitive or “photoreceptor” cells, called rods and cones. As the AAO explains ...

a layer of tissue that nourishes and supports the retina's light-sensing photoreceptors. Using artificial intelligence, the researchers analyzed images of RPE at single-cell resolution to create a ...

all locations of the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer and outer nuclear layer were reduced. There was no association between baseline demographic factors and change in retinal thickness.

We assessed the feasibility of transplanting a sheet of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE ... The tubules of the photoreceptor cell layer were observed to form as rosette-like structures in the ...

Mandai knew that the eye didn’t seem to take well to ... After transplanting stem cell-grown outer nuclear layers into 21 mice that had been bred to develop degenerating retinas, Mandai and ...

A retinal tear is a rip in the layer of light-detecting cells at the back of your eye called the retina. It’s a medical emergency that can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated quickly.
