Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) is a widely utilized method of imaging the retina. It provides a quick and noninvasive method to assess the health of the photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelium. FAF enables topographic mapping of the met...

Optogenetics is the process of photosensitizing cells and thereby controlling their activity with light. The discovery of channelrhodopsins has allowed for a reversible, spatiotemporally precise method to activate or silence specific target...

Neurodegenerative diseases of the retina result from diverse insults, including genetic mutations, metabolic deficiencies, vascular compromise, and inflammatory injury. These processes converge on dysfunction of the neurovascular unit, wher...
Vision restoration: From prostheses to genetic-based brain-machine interfaces [0.03%]
视觉修复:从辅助设备到基于基因的脑机接口

Visual restoration is the major challenge for brain-machine interfaces because vision requires perception of images containing a high number of pixels that have to be presented at a high refresh rate. Classically, visual prostheses were mad...

Stem cell therapy presents a new solution to cure degenerative diseases of the retina, which normally have limited ability to regenerate after injury. Stem cells are cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into more specialized ce...
