These vascularized vROs exhibit improved function of optic nerve cells and, for the first time, form fully functional light-signaling pathways from the photoreceptors to the retinal ganglion cells.
Until now, it has been difficult to maintain retinal ganglion cells deep inside organoids over extended periods. The supply of nutrients and oxygen in the densely packed tissues is limited, leading to ...
Breakthrough in retinal organoid research as researchers create vascular networks that enhance survival and function of retinal cells. The scientists tested several methods for integrating the ...
