Light shed on vision and hearing disorders
The most common hereditary condition that affects both hearing and vision is Usher Syndrome (USH). In the next issue of The EMBO Journal, scientists at the Institut Pasteur report on studies that have established the first link between Myosin VIIa, Cadherin 23 and Harmonin b. These three proteins were previously known to be involved in the... view more... (2002-12-16)

An 'eye catching' vision discovery
Nearly all species have some ability to detect light. At least three types of cells in the retina allow us to see images or distinguish between night and day. Now, researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have discovered in fish yet another type of cell that can sense light and contribute to vision. view more (2009-07-27)
