Scientists have discovered a way to utilize nanotechnology to construct a 3D ‘scaffold’ for growing cells from the retina, paving the path for potential new treatments for a prevalent cause of blindness.
A new study from Boston Medical Centre discovered a link between biomarkers in the vitreous humour of the eye and pathologically verified instances of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in post-mortem brain and eye tissue.
In an effort to treat the rare genetic condition Usher Syndrome Type 2A (USH2A), a University of Houston researcher is developing a gene therapy technique.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) causes diabetic retinopathy (DR), which is the major cause of blindness in people of working age. DR usually appears after many years of diabetes, and some people do not develop diabetic retinopathy for more than 50 years.
