Scientists identify the gatekeeper of retinal progenitor cell identity

The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to the brain. During development, all

VR headsets may actually reduce risk of dry eye

VR headset use may increase lipid layer thickness, potentially helping to prevent dry eye disease. Credit: Yoshiro Okazaki from Waseda University, Japan Virtual reality (VR) gaming has gained significant attention

Retinal therapy research marks first successful induction of long-term neural regeneration

Schematic diagram of the mechanism of retinal regeneration through inhibition of PROX1 migration. PROX1 protein secreted from damaged retinal nerve cells migrates to Müller glia and inhibits dedifferentiation into neural
