These vascularized vROs exhibit improved function of optic nerve cells and, for the first time, form fully functional light-signaling pathways from the photoreceptors to the retinal ganglion cells.

Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery. Vision ...

Newcells provides a quick and accurate in vitro retinal drug toxicity testing service using intricate retinal organoid models created in-house or from client-supplied cells. The retinal toxicity ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward protecting the very cells that make sharp, colorful vision possible. By testing more than 2,700 compounds in thousands of lab-grown human retinal models, ...

Until now, it has been difficult to maintain retinal ganglion cells deep inside organoids over extended periods. The supply of nutrients and oxygen in the densely packed tissues is limited, leading to ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have mapped the 3D organization of genetic material of key developmental stages of human retinal formation, using intricate models of a retina grown in ...

Researchers have mapped the 3D organization of genetic material of key developmental stages of human retinal formation, using intricate models of a retina grown in the lab. The findings lay a ...

A new molecular engineering technique can precisely influence the development of organoids. Microbeads made of specifically folded DNA are used to release growth factors or other signal molecules ...

Retinal degeneration is a leading cause of blindness globally and results from irreversible damage to photoreceptors and supporting cells including retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Scientists have ...

A retinal organoid examined at an early stage of differentiation shows different cells visualized by immunocytochemistry. Photo courtesy of Kim Edwards. MADISON — Inside the human eye, the retina is ...
