A fully organic retinal prosthesis restores vision in a rat model of degenerative blindness
The degeneration of photoreceptors in the retina is one of the major causes of adult blindness in humans. Unfortunately, no effective clinical treatments exist for the majority of retinal degenerative disorders. Here we report on the fabrication and functional validation of a fully organic prosthesis for long-term in vivo subretinal implantation in the eye of Royal College of Surgeons rats, a w...
متن کاملRetinal Development: Second Sight Comes First
Mammals are functionally blind at birth because responses to rod and cone photoreceptor activation are immature. Recent studies show that the newborn retina is nevertheless sensitive to light. Indeed, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells are present from birth and already make functional connections with the suprachiasmatic nucleus, the site of the central circadian clock.
متن کاملReading Visual Braille with a Retinal Prosthesis
Retinal prostheses, which restore partial vision to patients blinded by outer retinal degeneration, are currently in clinical trial. The Argus II retinal prosthesis system was recently awarded CE approval for commercial use in Europe. While retinal prosthesis users have achieved remarkable visual improvement to the point of reading letters and short sentences, the reading process is still fairl...
متن کاملA Shot at Dendritic Cell-Based Vaccine Strategy against HIV-1
Introduction: Despite considerable efforts to control AIDS pandemic, it is still one of the significant infectious concerns worldwide. The advance in medical research has led to the development of highly active antiretroviral therapy with a considerable effect to suppress the disease. However, an effective vaccine capable of eradication the HIV pandemic is not available yet. Failure to develop ...
متن کاملA perceptual scheme for fully automatic video shot boundary detection
In this paper, we propose a novel and robust modus operandi for fast and accurate shot boundary detection where the whole design philosophy is based on human perceptual rules and the well-known “Information Seeking Mantra”. By adopting a top–down approach, redundant video processing is avoided and furthermore elegant shot boundary detection accuracy is obtained under significantly low computati...
