A single phototransistor mimics retinal bipolar cell function while detecting visible and infrared light, enabling low-power image processing through programmable ON and OFF photoresponses. (Nanowerk ...

Fluorescently labeled microtubules extend from the tips of the dendrites (top) into the axon and down into the giant synaptic terminal (bottom) of a single isolated goldfish retinal bipolar cell. A ...

A newly developed light-sensing protein called the MCO1 opsin restores vision in blind mice when attached to retina bipolar cells using gene therapy, according to The National Eye Institute, which ...

a view of the retina after transplanting a retinal sheet grown from normal human stem cells (top) or the modified stem cells lacking the ISL1 gene (bottom). Bipolar cells are red. Looking at the ...

A newly developed light-sensing protein called the MCO1 opsin restores vision in blind mice when attached to retina bipolar cells using gene therapy. The National Eye Institute, part of the National ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The human eye's remarkable ability to detect edges—the boundaries between light and dark areas in our visual field—is a fundamental aspect of how we perceive the world. This ...

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan have deployed improved genetically modified human stem cell-derived retinal transplants to treat rats with retinitis ...
