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 ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital identified distinct functions for regions of a super-enhancer that controls gene expression during retina formation, calling it a ‘modular’ ...

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 ...

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 image metaphorically captures the cell differentiation process during retinal organoid development. Loose yarn representing uncompacted DNA is wound by a crochet hook around buttons representing ...

Upregulated expression of transcription factors promoting cone identity in late-stage retinal progenitors drives development ...
