Incomplete Recovery of Zebrafish Retina Following Cryoinjury

Zebrafish show an extraordinary potential for regeneration in several organs from fins to central nervous system. Most impressively, the outcome of an injury results in a near perfect regeneration and a full functional recovery. Indeed, among the various i ...

Virtual reality simulation of epiretinal stimulation highlights the relevance of the visual angle in prosthetic vision

Diego Ghezzi, Enrico Migliorini, Jacob Thomas Thorn

Objective. Retinal prostheses hold the potential to restore artificial vision in blind patients suffering from outer retinal dystrophies. The optimal number, density and coverage of the electrodes that a retinal prosthesis should have to provide adequate a ...

Novel PDE6B Mutation Presenting with Retinitis Pigmentosa - A Case Series of Three Patients

Imen Habibi

Background Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) affects 2.5 million people worldwide. Increased identification of causative gene defects and the increasing possibility of treatment necessitates better knowledge of phenotype-genotype correlations to help identify pati ...

Gene Editing Preserves Visual Functions in a Mouse Model of Retinal Degeneration

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni, Naïg Aurelia Ludmilla Chenais, Tommaso Marchetti

Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) are a large and heterogeneous group of degenerative diseases caused by mutations in various genes. Given the favorable anatomical and immunological characteristics of the eye, gene therapy holds great potential for thei ...

Where are the missing gene defects in inherited retinal disorders? Intronic and synonymous variants contribute at least to 4% of CACNA1F-mediated inherited retinal disorders

Vincent Meyer

Inherited retinal disorders (IRD) represent clinically and genetically heterogeneous diseases. To date, pathogenic variants have been identified in similar to 260 genes. Albeit that many genes are implicated in IRD, for 30-50% of the cases, the gene defect ...

Preservation of visual function in an animal model of retinal degeneration using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni, Tommaso Marchetti

Aims: Inherited Retinal Disorders represent a difficult target for gene therapy. This study exploits the possibility of using CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing in photoreceptor progenitors to prevent cell death. We performed all the experiments on Rd10 mice, ...

Photovoltaic stimulation of retinal ganglion cells with wide-field epiretinal prosthesis

Diego Ghezzi, Kevin Sivula, Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi, Laura Ferlauto, Naïg Aurelia Ludmilla Chenais

Retinal prostheses have become in the past decade a promising and realistic technology to restore vision. Nonetheless, sight restoration with retinal prostheses in a clinically relevant perspective requires resolution and implantation challenges not yet ac ...

Semi-automatic 3D morphological reconstruction of neurons with densely branching morphology: Application to retinal All amacrine cells imaged with multi -photon excitation microscopy

Bas-Jan Zandt

Background: Accurate reconstruction of the morphology of single neurons is important for morphometric studies and for developing compartmental models. However, manual morphological reconstruction can be extremely time-consuming and error-prone and algorith ...

Gene editing in photoreceptor progenitors prevents visual function loss in a mouse model of retinal degeneration

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni

Purpose: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. We exploited the possibility of an early intervention in ...
