Researchers think they’ve found a path to restoring human vision
For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging ...
Figure 1: Two models of how the rhodopsin mutant G90D might cause congenital night blindness. Thus, we carried out the following experiment. Rod photoreceptor cells were isolated from transgenic frogs ...
People left blind by retinal degeneration have one option: electronic eye implants. Neuroscientists have now developed an alternative: gene therapy that, in tests, restored vision in blind mice. A ...
Rod photoreceptors are highly compartmentalized sensory neurons that maintain strict ultrastructural and molecular polarity. Structural subdivisions include the outer segment, inner segment, cell body ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 103, No. 16 (Apr. 18, 2006), pp. 6218-6223 (6 pages) Most mammals have two types of cone photoreceptors, which ...
It was surprisingly simple. University of California, Berkeley, scientists inserted a gene for a green-light receptor into the eyes of blind mice and, a month later, they were navigating around ...
