Retina-on-a-chip offers promising perspectives for rare eye diseases

Researchers at the University of Twente and Radboudumc are developing a promising new model to enhance understanding of the human retina. They are developing a retina-on-a-chip, in which the three main layers of the retina will eventually be combined. The first two layers have now been successfully integrated, and work on the third is underway. This combination has not been achieved before. The goal is to better understand the causes of eye dise…
