Immunostaining of mouse retina with anti-CEP antibodies (left panel) was prominant only for the rod outer segments (OS) and retinyl pigmented epithelium (RPE). As predicted, CEPs are only generated in ...

One of my lab's long-term goals is to elucidate the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms regulating retinal progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation, leading to new therapeutic ...

Two new compounds may be able to treat retinitis pigmentosa, a group of inherited eye diseases that cause blindness. The ...

Two compounds prolonged the survival of photoreceptors in a retinitis pigmentosa mouse model for rod opsin misfolding ...

This means these stem cells can live in mouse and rabbit retinal matrixes, allowing them to create more photoreceptor cells and replace those lost to degeneration. The researchers used a retinal ...
