Photovoltaic stimulation of retinal microcircuit for vision restoration

Naïg Aurelia Ludmilla Chenais

Sight restoration through retinal prostheses was still a mere dream a century ago. Current challenges are even greater: providing a quantitatively and qualitatively useful artificial vision to late blind patients. Existing approaches all face engineering a ...

Preventing visual function loss in the rd10 mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa using gene editing

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni

Currently, there is no known cure for retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Even if some treatments can slow down the progression of the disease, none of them can effectively stop retinal degeneration. This study exploits the possibility of an early intervention in p ...
