Differences in kinetics of retinal output signals originate at least in part from differences in synaptic output from distinct bipolar cell types.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 117, No. 17 (April 28, 2020), pp. 9577-9583 (7 pages) Amacrine cells are a diverse population of interneurons in ...

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 ...

In a genetic association study, investigators integrated data from genome-wide association studies of various disorders with retinal transcriptomic data. Findings revealed that the polygenic risk of ...

Cross-section through part of a retinal organoid: On day 143 of their differentiation, the inner nuclear layer (bottom) contains the cell bodies of functionally distinct cells: those of the amacrine ...

Connecting pieces of information by finding a common thread often takes glaucoma researchers in unexpected directions. Zinc is one such thread that joined together different experts at Boston Children ...

For individuals with inherited eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration, the irreversible degeneration of the retina—a layer of photoreceptors at the back of the eye—can ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. This story also starts a series ...

Retinitis pigmentosa retinal degeneration is caused by a family of hereditary mutations in nearly 100 genes that slowly lead to blindness over years or decades. One of those genes encodes the enzyme ...
