By implementing an automated 3D cell segmentation process, researchers mapped neurons and muscle fibers at the single-cell ...

A groundbreaking study from UC San Diego has identified Thiorphan, an existing drug, as a potential game-changer for spinal cord injuries. Researchers used advanced bioinformatics to discover its ...

Mom Amanda Burritt took to TikTok to share that the adorable moment her toddler celebrated another year round the sun was also the heart-wrenching moment she realized her daughter was blind.

Optic neuropathies including glaucoma, traumatic injury, ischemic damage, and optic neuritis, are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide; however, effective treatments for optic nerve ...

Abstract: The optic nerve plays a critical role in visual information processing by relaying signals from the retina to the brain. Diseases affecting the optic nerve, such as glaucoma, can severely ...

A deep-learning model trained on optical coherence tomography scans of the optic nerve head reliably distinguished among various types of optic nerve damage, such as glaucoma, non-arteritic anterior ...

A retrospective cohort study suggested that users of GLP-1 receptor agonists had a 7% higher incidence of new-onset diabetic retinopathy. In patients with existing diabetic retinopathy, use of GLP-1 ...
