USC researchers use 3D microscopy and genetically engineered viruses to visualize and distinguish specific retinal ganglion cell types (shown here in green) from other cells in the retina (purple).
Cell replacement therapy offers a therapeutic approach for patients with advanced disease in which there has been loss of photoreceptors, RPE or retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Age-related macular ...
When Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk wanted to study genetic changes in retinal ganglion cells in conditions like glaucoma, she ran into a problem. She needed to isolate individual cells, but ...
In the tadpole stage, the eyes are lateral and all ganglion cells project axons to the contralateral side of the brain (retina is denoted by curves, ganglion cell axons are denoted by lines).
Prior studies have shown that light exposure can affect people’s mood and cognitive functioning when bright light enters the inner surface of the retina ... retinal ganglion cells are located.
