Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 21 (May 25, 2021), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) Loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) because of ...

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 ...

Brain circuits for vision develop without any kind of input from the retina in zebrafish. Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine report evidence that zebrafishes' natural ability to regenerate their eyes' retinal tissue can be accelerated by controlling the fishes' immune systems. Because ...

A unique oral drug candidate that is shown to restore vision and regenerate the retina in an animal model, addressing a major unmet need in ocular therapeutics The study utilized the Sen57wrn-/-ND6-/+ ...

The ability of some animals to dynamically change color to match the brightness of their surroundings is one of nature's great survival tools, allowing flatfish to blend into sandy seabeds, frogs to ...

Zebrafish eyes are similar to ours. We share all the major structures, such as a single lens to focus light, a retina with photoreceptor cells to detect light, and a liquid-filled cavity between the ...

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 ...
