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 ...

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 ...

(Getty Images) Hundreds of new genes linked to blindness and other vision disorders have been identified in a screen of mouse strains. Many of these genes are likely important in human eye vision and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sight loss in some inherited eye diseases may be caused by gut bacteria, and could potentially be treated with antibiotics, new research suggests. The study in mice found gut bacteria within ...

A promising advance in regenerative medicine could one day restore sight to millions of blind people ... to recover vision even after significant eye injuries. Until recently, this phenomenon ...
