One of the causes is the spontaneous back-and-forth movement of the eye, called 'pendular nystagmus ... have now demonstrated in albino mice that the cells in this brain area are no longer ...

By optimizing techniques, the researchers coaxed about 26,000 rod cells to incorporate into the retina of each injected eye. Mice used in the study were night blind due to a mutation that ...

Hundreds of new genes linked to blindness ... Eye Center. "The whole ophthalmic community is going to start using these data." The results are the latest to come from the International Mouse ...

A technique that generates rod photoreceptors in the eye reversed congenital blindness in mice, a recent study found. The technique takes supportive cells in the retina called Müller glia and ...

The leading cause of blindness in older American adults may have met its match. A new study finds cholesterol-lowering drugs given in the form of eye drops cured macular degeneration in mice ...

also cause human eye diseases. The next step is to study these newly implicated mouse genes in blind human patients. Specifically, we will analyze the genomes of patients whose prior genetic ...

Here’s what Huberman’s team did. The experiment involved close to 100 mice in total; scientists “induced blindness” in one eye by making a surgical incision and pinching the optic nerve ...

Thanks to a new gene therapy targeting specific cells in the eye, blind mice have regained the ability to see. The recovered rod cells not only regained the ability to react to light, but also ...
