Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is caused by mutations in a specific calcium channel. A comprehensive proteomic study by researchers at the University of Innsbruck now reveals how these mutations trigger complex, mutation-specific molecular changes. For the first time, this work provides a solid foundation for the development of personalized therapeutic approaches.

Scientists engineer 'living eye drop' to support corneal healing
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers have developed an early-stage, experimental “living eye drop” that uses naturally occurring eye bacteria to support corneal wound healing. The proof-of-concept study, published
