For the #Myopia #IMC 2024, this review serves as historical overview and also springboard for future research, emphasising the complex interplay between genetics, visual experience and environmental factors. @tueneurocampus.bsky.social @unituebingen.bsky.social www.eye-tuebingen.de?tx_news_pi1%...

Researchers from iMST, Furtwangen University, and the IOR have developed an intraocular ring electrode to record ciliary muscle biopotentials—a step toward restoring natural accommodation in aging eyes. @unituebingen.bsky.social @tueneurocampus.bsky.social www.eye-tuebingen.de?tx_news_pi1%...

The annual conference by #ProRetina, brings together researchers, clinicians, and patient advocates and again demonstrates the power of collaborative research and the importance of patient-oriented science @unituebingen.bsky.social @tueneurocampus.bsky.social www.eye-tuebingen.de?tx_news_pi1%...

Strengthening European Ties: Institut de la Vision in Paris visits the IOR in Tübingen. This meeting was the first of its kind between the 2 internationally renowned institutes in vision and ophthalmology. @unituebingen.bsky.social @tueneurocampus.bsky.social www.eye-tuebingen.de?tx_news_pi1%...

We are very glad to have as next invited speaker for our Ophthalmic Research Symposia at IOR, Simon Binder from IMTEK of the @University of @uni-freiburg.de On 13 March, let's welcome him! 👏👏👏👏 @unituebingen.bsky.social @tueneurocampus.bsky.social Info here 👉 www.eye-tuebingen.de/default-97f5...

#AMD is a leading cause of blindness in the elderly, driven by multiple risk factors. In this study, researchers from Tübingen employed RPE cells derived from iPSC generated from donors. 👉 www.eye-tuebingen.de?tx_news_pi1%... @unituebingen.bsky.social @tueneurocampus.bsky.social

Ein weiteres lesenswertes Interview mit Prof. Schaeffel vom IOR / FIA. Der Biophysiker aus Tübingen erklärt, was die aktuelle Studienlage zum Einsatz von Dark Mode und Blaufiltern offenbart - und was nicht. 👉 t3n.de/news/dark-mo... @unituebingen.bsky.social @tueneurocampus.bsky.social

Scientists from IOR in Tübingen, Heidelberg University and University College London have systematically investigated 23 mutations in the IFT140 gene to determine their effects on protein function and disease severity. 👉https://bit.ly/3EINf9W @unituebingen.bsky.social @tueneurocampus.bsky.social

The results of this research suggest that cell’s vulnerability to oxidative stress is determined by genetic risk factors within the cells. Data support the idea that RPE cells with high genetic risk are less able to withstand oxidative stress. @unituebingen.bsky.social @tueneurocampus.bsky.social
