Dr. Magdalena Renne, a leading expert in 3D organoid systems, details how her team has overcome longstanding barriers in ...

Researchers report they have used retinal cone photoreceptors derived from human stem cells to restore vision in mice with advanced retinal degeneration. They are now designing a clinical trial to ...

Cone photoreceptors in retinal degeneration have been thought to be dormant However, new research suggests cone photoreceptors in a degenerating retina may continue producing responses to light.

In-vivo sub-diffraction adaptive optics imaging of photoreceptors in the human eye with annular pupil illumination and sub-Airy detection. Optica, 2021; 8 (3): 333 DOI: 10.1364/OPTICA.414206 ...

Cones and cone pathways remain functional in advanced retinal degeneration. Current Biology, 2023; DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.03.007 ...

Photoreceptors in the eyes called cones are responsible for central vision tasks like reading. Bright light activates cones.

Journal reference: Ball, J.M., et al. (2022) Mitochondria in cone photoreceptors act as microlenses to enhance photon delivery and confer directional sensitivity to light.

Bulb-like axon terminals of cone photoreceptors in the marmoset’s foveal retina. The blue pedicle, a short wavelength sensitive neuron, gives rise to complex circuitry that starts a neural code ...

New UCLA research in mice suggests that "dormant" cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal ...
