Check out our paper! We identify a population of retinal progenitors that are maintained late in human retinal development, and give rise to both first- and last-born cell types in the retina, condensing 100 days of retinal development into a small region at the retinal margin!.

Our ability to see colors develops in the womb. Now scientists have replicated that process, which could help accelerate efforts to cure colorblindness and lead to new treatments for diseases.
