A protein involved in autophagy, DRAM2, appears to be essential for photoreceptor survival

A simple, clean and elegant gene editing technique might not be that simple, clean or elegant.

Gene and stem cell therapies hold the promise of restoring vision in patients with retinal diseases – but who should be paying for these treatments, and how?

Second corneal transplants are far more likely to be rejected than first-time grafts – but now that we know why, we might be able to prevent it

We look at the last 50 years of Fight for Sight – the projects it has funded, and the discoveries its funding helped to achieve.

New research shows that lens epithelial cells proliferate along a narrow line, pushing older cells toward the equator and then the center of the lens

Damage to the primary visual cortex strengthens neuronal connectivity between the retina and pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus – and might explain a few phenomena.

We talk with Boris Stanzel about growing retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells on carrier scaffolds, implanting them under the retina, and the potential it has to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Retinal progenitor cell transplantation offers a new approach to repairing damaged photoreceptors

Gene sequencing study identifies a gene mutation responsible for heritable cases of LCA and OMS for the first time
