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

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 ...

Impact of MCT1 Haploinsufficiency on the Mouse Retina

Pierre Magistretti, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Luc Pellerin

The monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) is highly expressed in the outer retina, suggesting that it plays a critical role in photoreceptors. We examined MCT1+/- heterozygotes, which express half of the normal complement of MCT1. The MCT1(+/-) retina devel ...

En face retinal imaging

Dino Carpentras

Retinal imaging is routinely used to provide information about vision health. Recent studies showed that retinal images can also provide information on general health (e.g. stress level), brain pathologies and attention. Depending on the target information ...

A comprehensive study of neural retina stimulation towards better visual prosthesis resolution

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

A major obstacle to make retinal prostheses a realistic technology to restore a functional form of vision allowing normal mobility is the low resolution achieved by current devices. Aims. Using photovoltaic pixels based on organic materials, we aimed at bu ...

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, ...

Design and validation of a foldable and photovoltaic wide-field epiretinal prosthesis

Diego Ghezzi, Kevin Sivula, Samuel Charles Antoine Gilliéron, Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi, Laura Ferlauto, Paola Vagni, Naïg Aurelia Ludmilla Chenais, Michele Bevilacqua

Retinal prostheses have been developed to fight blindness in people affected by outer retinal layer dystrophies. To date, few hundred patients have received a retinal implant. Inspired by intraocular lenses, we have designed a foldable and photovoltaic wid ...

Upper stimulation threshold for retinal ganglion cell activation

Diego Ghezzi

Objective. The existence of an upper threshold in electrically stimulated retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is of interest because of its relevance to the development of visual prosthetic devices, which are designed to restore partial sight to blind patients. ...

Validation of a Foldable and Photovoltaic Wide-Field Epiretinal Prosthesis

Diego Ghezzi

Inspired by intra ocular lenses, we designed a foldable and wide-field epiretinal prosthesis capable of achieving a wireless photovoltaic stimulation of retinal ganglion cells with a remarkable increase in its retinal coverage and in the number of stimulat ...

Orientation-Dispersed Apparent Axon Diameter via Multi-Stage Spherical Mean Optimization

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Marco Pizzolato

The estimation of the apparent axon diameter (AAD) via diffusion MRI is affected by the incoherent alignment of single axons around its axon bundle direction, also known as orientational dispersion. The simultaneous estimation of AAD and dispersion is chal ...

In vivo electrical stimulation of the optic nerve and hybrid computational model for neuroprosthetic applications

Silvestro Micera, Diego Ghezzi, Samuel Charles Antoine Gilliéron, Fiorenzo Artoni, Paola Vagni, Vivien Gaillet

Blindness affects millions of people worldwide, dramatically decreasing their quality of life. Retinal dystrophies, such as age related macular degeneration and Retinitis Pigmentosa, which are leading causes of blindness in industrialized countries, curren ...
