A breakthrough treatment has allowed damaged retinal cells to regenerate themselves. The current research has been conducted on mice, but the pathways are the same in humans, which opens hope for a ...

Chinese researchers have reportedly made a breakthrough in artificial vision technology using a rare mineral called tellurium. This development could one day help restore sight to the blind, perhaps ...

Neuroscientists and materials scientists have created contact lenses that enable infrared vision in both humans and mice by converting infrared light into visible light. Unlike infrared night vision ...

Our eyes could potentially be coaxed into a special repair mode above and beyond our natural self-healing abilities, according to a new study, thanks to the delivery of antibodies that trigger nerve ...

This approach “offers a lot of hope, because it’s really the best regeneration anybody’s seen,” biologist Thomas Reh of the University of Washington in Seattle, who was not involved in the work, told ...

Top neuroscience labs are adapting new and unexpected tools to gain a deeper understanding of how mice, and ultimately humans, react to different drug treatments. By Peter Hess Published Jan 10, 2024 ...

Humans can now see in the dark -- and even with their eyes closed -- using nanotechnology contact lenses that turn invisible infrared light into visible images, according to a new study published in ...
