Researchers have developed eye drops that extend vision in animal models of a group of inherited diseases that lead to progressive vision loss in humans, known as retinitis pigmentosa. Researchers ...

The eye drops contain a small fragment derived from a protein made by the body and found in the eye, known as pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF). PEDF helps preserve cells in the eye's retina.

Typical for their research setups, cameras film the animal collectives, in the lab or in the field. The researchers then analyzed the recordings using computer vision. The position and body ...

Dogs have a reputation for their impeccable smell and hearing — not so much for their vision. But that stereotype is a bit short-sighted. For one, it’s a misconception that dogs see in black ...

Eye drops containing peptides derived from the pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) protein have been shown to slow vision loss in animal models of retinitis pigmentosa and dry age-related ...
