Researchers have mapped the 3D organization of genetic material of key developmental stages of human retinal formation, using intricate models of a retina grown in the lab. The findings lay a ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have mapped the 3D organization of genetic material of key developmental stages of human retinal formation, using intricate models of a retina grown in ...

The National Institutes of Health grant is for $2.3 million over five years and represents the third funding cycle of one of Mu’s NIH grants through a competitive renewal application. Mu conducts his ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital studied the Vsx2 super-enhancer and its role in the development of the retina. Their assessment showed the super-enhancer has four distinct regions ...

A new understanding of retinal cell development may help pave the way for future retina transplants, which could restore ...

Over the last decade, experiments addressing thyroid hormone's role in the retina have generated a sizeable body of data. They have also inspired many more questions that will no doubt be tested in ...

During retinal development, Setd8 safeguards chromatin accessibility through the histone marker H4K20me1. When Setd8 is present (right), genes required for retinal progenitor cell maintenance and DNA ...

Researchers have identified a gene that is crucial for the proper development of photoreceptor cells in the retina. The gene works by regulating microexons, tiny fragments of DNA that play an ...

This study is led by prof. Jin (Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology, Beijing Tongren Eye Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University). For the last decade, he always works on the ...

Enhancers are regions of DNA that do not code for proteins, but control how genes are expressed. Super-enhancers are clusters of enhancers that together regulate genes with important roles in cell ...
