Love to work with retinal #organoids Work done by my talented undergraduate student Jana Sebestikova at @Ceitec_CellimCF

[Tomas Barta @t_barta]

Great collaboration with @linda_lako lab and @Gerrit__H from @UniofNewcastle @NorthumbriaUni

What if light is not just the physiological target of photoreceptors, but also a potent instructive signal in their differentiation?
In our new @biorxivpreprint, we show that structured light enhances human photoreceptor maturation in retinal organoids.

✨ Bottom line:
Light isn’t just what photoreceptors respond to.
It’s what guides them.
And it’s time we start using it.

1/ Have you ever wondered what high glucose levels do to your retina? We used human retinal organoids to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms of diabetic retinopathy! 🔬👁️@Science_MEDMUNI

8/ Could targeting photoreceptors early prevent the progression of DR? Our findings suggest this is an exciting avenue for future research! 💡
