A naturally occurring molecule called erucamide may help the retina fight back against diseases that cause progressive vision loss. Restoring the molecule activated protective immune responses that ...

The clinical progression and outcomes of two major herpesvirus retinitis forms are associated with patients' immune status, ...

Researchers have discovered a natural erucamide molecule in the retina that can help the tissue resist diseases that lead to gradual loss of vision. In preclinical experiments, restoring its level ...

Age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of irreversible blindness in older adults, has long been linked to ...

Ester Carreño, MD, PhD, explains how to tell retinitis pigmentosa from uveitis and why genetic confirmation now matters more.

Many conditions that cause vision loss share a common feature: the gradual breakdown of the retina, the light-sensing tissue at the back of the eye. Although scientists know some of the structural ...

The retina is a dynamic tissue of the eye made up of many different types of cells. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital used single-cell sequencing techniques to study retinal cells ...

A new study shows that subretinal adeno-associated virus 8 (AAV8) injections cause proinflammatory T-cell immune response against the transgene product. According to the study, published in the ...

Breazzano, MD, FACS, shares findings from a TriNetX real-world database analysis on how HIV co-infection influences RPR ...
