PURPOSE: To measure the sensitivity of small retinal areas by reducing the influence of the adaptation state of the rest of the retina. To assess the functional behaviour of the retina of several patients affected by ...

Purpose: To evaluate the short-term (10 months) safety of a single intravitreal injection of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells in patients with retinitis pigmentosa or cone-rod dystrophy. Methods: A prospective, ...

PURPOSE. To explore the effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on gene expression during human fetal retinal maturation. METHODS. Human fetal retinal explants were cultured in serum-free Waymouth's medium supplemented ...

Diabetes produces several changes in the body triggered by high glycemia. Some of these changes include altered metabolism, structural changes in blood vessels and chronic inflammation. The eye and particularly the retinal ...

Light is the visible part of the electromagnetic radiation within a range of 380-780 nm; (400-700 on primates retina). In vertebrates, the retina is adapted to capturing light photons and transmitting this information to ...

The retina is one of the major energy consuming tissues within the body. In this context, synaptic transmission between light-excited rod and cone photoreceptors and downstream ON-bipolar neurons is a highly demanding ...
