The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), the state's stem cell agency, has awarded a two-year, $6 million ...

The investigators aim to accelerate progress in fighting dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which affects about 16 million people in the U.S. The disease is rooted in damage to the eye’s ...

These cells are called ‘photoreceptors’. There are two types of photoreceptors. ‘Rods’ are the most common type. They are used in peripheral (side) vision and help us see when light levels are low ...

Abstract: Objective: The isolated mammalian retina may serve as a sensitive biosensor for preclinical drug testing, including eye drugs and a broader range of pharmaceuticals ... with the retina still ...

These photoreceptors consist of rods and cones. Rods allow the eye to sense light and see in the dark, while cones allow the eye to see and differentiate colors. Most people are trichromatic, meaning ...

This happens due to an effect known as an “afterimage”. Once the rods and cones cell in our eyes are adjusted to the blinking lilac dots, afterimages are produced and our eyes begin to process ...

From black-and-white vision to ultraviolet detection, discover how animals perceive colors and use them in surprising ways.

The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has funded Keck School of Medicine of USC translational research advancing ...

Neurons were then exposed to x-irradiation and morphological changes were quantitatively evaluated by growth cone collapse assay. Cell viability was examined using TUNEL and WST-1 assays. The results ...
