Researchers have successfully demonstrated that hagfish slime proteins can accurately replicate membranes in the human eye. Scientists were able to properly grow retinal cells on hagfish slime ...

In experiments in mouse tissues and human cells, researchers say they have found that removing a membrane that lines the back of the eye may improve the success rate for regrowing nerve cells damaged ...

Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness and affects over 196 million people worldwide. Despite its prevalence, very little is known about the causes or mechanisms of this ...

In the retina, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the complex of photoreceptors, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch’s membrane (BM) and the choriocapillaris, the innermost layer of ...

The back of your eye has a layer called the retina that converts light into signals. Your brain interprets those signals as images. The middle of the retina has a small area called the macula. It's in ...

Researchers at Utah State University have successfully demonstrated that hagfish slime proteins can accurately replicate membranes in the human eye. Professor Elizabeth Vargis and her team study a ...

In experiments in mouse tissues and human cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have found that removing a membrane that lines the back of the eye may improve the success rate for ...
