Gene therapy has partly restored the function of the retina's cone receptors in two children who were born completely colourblind, reports a new study. Gene therapy has partly restored the function of ...

New UCLA research in mice suggests that “dormant” cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal ...

In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, daylight vision, and the perception of small details. As vision scientists from the Division of ...

Scientists have long believed that the eye uses the retina’s rod cells for vision at night and cone cells to see during the day. New research at The Ohio State University Medical Center, however, ...

Gene therapy restored colour vision to colourblind children with the inherited retinal disorder achromatopsia, in the first trial of its kind in two paediatric patients. The finding shows that gene ...
