which take the place of light-sensitive neurons in a living retina. These are connected up to 3600 transistors, which mimic the nerve cells that process light information and pass it on to the ...

These neurons were cultured on a surface made up of nanowires, allowing them to interface with each other The nanowires are designed to mimic the natural photoreceptor cells in the retina.

Scientists have identified never-before-seen cells in the human eye that could potentially help reverse vision loss caused by common diseases, such as macular degeneration. The researchers ...

Organoids developed for the competition will mimic the structure, organization, and function of the human retina, the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye. NEI is part of the National ...

Inherited eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) leave millions grappling with progressive vision loss. At the heart of this issue is the protein rhodopsin, which, due to genetic mutations, ...

Designed for people experiencing macular degeneration—the leading cause of vision loss among people over the age of 60—the glasses mimic insect ... central part of the retina responsible ...
