A hybrid retinal implant using stem-cell-derived neurons and microelectrodes lowers activation thresholds and improves signal precision, offering a more natural interface for high-resolution vision ...

Note: The video above shows a three-dimensional rotating view of three different cell types in the retina. The Campana cell (center) is shown flanked by two other cell classes that it is similar to, a ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...

Gold, laser goggles, and a camera: it’s an unlikely combination that could one day be used to restore vision in people with retinal damage, according to researchers. In a new study published in the ...
