Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed fovea, is responsible for sharp vision. Here, the color-sensitive cone photoreceptors allow us to detect even the smallest ...
Eye care specialists could see artificial intelligence help in diagnosing infectious keratitis (IK), a leading cause of corneal blindness worldwide, as a new study finds that deep learning models ...
Targeted protein degradation has opened up a new field of drug discovery with potential to treat previously 'undruggable' diseases. The work means new drugs can be much more accurately targeted at ...
Researchers have identified a protein involved in the early stages of AMD and found that blocking its activity could reduce the formation of drusen, the lipid deposits in the retina that are a harbinger of the ...
