The results of many studies in a variety of species have significantly advanced our
understanding of the role of visual experience and the mechanisms of postnatal eye growth …

Abstract Structure and function are highly correlated in the vertebrate retina, a sensory tissue
that is organized into cell layers with microcircuits working in parallel and together to encode …

In the developing neural retina (NR), multipotent stem cells within the ciliary margin (CM)
contribute to de novo retinal tissue growth. We recently reported the ability of human …

Müller cells are active players in normal retinal function and in virtually all forms of retinal
injury and disease. Reactive Müller cells protect the tissue from further damage and …

The discovery of stem cells that can generate neural tissue has raised new possibilities for
repairing the nervous system. A rush of papers proclaiming adult stem cell plasticity has …

Adult zebrafish generate new neurons in the brain and retina throughout life. Growth-related
neurogenesis allows a vigorous regenerative response to damage, and fish can regenerate …

The current paper provides an overview of current knowledge on the structure and function
of the eye. It describes in depth the different parts of the eye that are involved in the ocular …

The retina of warm-blooded vertebrates is believed to be incapable of neural regeneration.
Here we provide evidence that the retina of postnatal chickens has the potential to generate …

Polymeric nanofibers can be produced using methods such as electrospinning, phase
separation, and self-assembly, and the fiber composition, diameter, alignment, degradation …

Neuronal precursors reside in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of adult mammals. This region
is composed of a network of chains of migrating neuroblasts ensheathed by astrocytes and …
