The retina of the eye contains photoreceptor cells that convert light into neuronal signals, which ultimately allow us to see. The mammalian retina has a very limited ability to regenerate, and damage to it severely impairs the ability to see, and therefore to interact with the environment. Retinal diseases are often related to age or conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, though a small number of retinopathies are genetic. Independently of their origin, understanding the underlying mechanisms of these diseases, and enhancing treatment options, are interlinked.
This Collection aims to bring together the latest research which gives insight into clinical, genetic, or molecular mechanisms of all forms of retinal disease, or studies advancing their treatment.
