Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how ...

FDA authorization under an IND permits first-in-human phase I/II testing of SVT-001 in familial drusen, focusing on safety ...

An injection of stem cells into the eye may soon slow or reverse the effects of early-stage age-related macular degeneration, according to new research from scientists at Cedars-Sinai. Currently, ...

Researchers use single-cell analysis to show how transplanted neural stem cells interact with the retina to preserve vision in retinitis pigmentosa.

New research shows smoking changes how key eye cells control genes, helping explain why smokers face a much higher risk of ...

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...

Researchers have for the first time identified degeneration-associated “molecular markers” —observable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks—that are shared by several forms of dementia ...

In the retina, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the complex of photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch’s membrane (BM) and the choriocapillaris, the innermost layer of ...

Researchers have for the first time identified degeneration-associated 'molecular markers' -- observable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks -- that are shared by several forms of ...

As the brain ages, it loses cells. Researchers have predominantly focused on the effects of cell death in brain areas responsible for cognition, but the cerebellum, most well-known for coordinating ...
