Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...

For individuals with inherited eye disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration, the irreversible degeneration of the retina—a layer of photoreceptors at the back of the eye—can ...
In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic." Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science ...
The study demonstrates that the contralateral eye supplies critical guidance cues for axonal regrowth and behavioral recovery. These findings highlight the zebrafish as a unique model for uncovering ...
By tracking eye movements in zebrafish, researchers identified four different types of sleep, analogous to the complex sleep ...
Zebrafish photoreceptor cells stimulated with blue light show correct electrical activity. The picture was taken using the microscope that was custom-built for this study. Blinding diseases lead to ...
