Mooney I, LaMotte J. Source Southern California College of Optometry, Fullerton, California 92831, USA. Abstract Vision research involving stem cells is a rapidly evolving field. Animal experiments have shown that in response to environmental cues, stem cells can repopulate damaged retinas, regrow neuronal axons, repair higher cortical pathways, and restore pupil reflexes, light responses and basic…
Dahlmann-Noor A, Vijay S, Jayaram H, Limb A, Khaw PT. Source UCL Partners AHSC, London, United Kingdom. Abstract The 3 most common causes of visual impairment and legal blindness in developed countries (age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy) share 1 end point: the loss of neural cells of the eye. Although recent treatment advances can slow down the progression of…
