Degeneration of retinal ganglion cells can cause irreversible vision loss. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) could, in theory, be ...

Scientists at Durham University, working in partnership with Jagiellonian University in Poland, have developed a new ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered using cryo-electron tomography, which literally freezes them in time, and ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have found that disrupting or removing the eye’s internal limiting membrane can improve the survival and integration of transplanted retinal ganglion cells, a potential ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...
