Detailed image of the human retina
Researchers from Basel and Zurich are creating a high-resolution atlas that depicts the development of the human retina. One technique they use is a new method that allows them to visualise more than 50 proteins simultaneously.
Abstract
- A new atlas illustrates how the human retina is developing.
- To create it, researchers mapped three-dimensional tissue structures called organoids that they had cultivated in their lab.
- The atlas could support research to halt the progression of a degenerative eye disease that can cause people lose their sight.
