Professor Serge Picaud supervised a study that, for the first time, demonstrated the use of high-frequency ultrasonic stimulation after ectopic expression of a mechanosensitive ion channel of large conductance (MscL) to activate the visual cortex. MscL was expressed in vivo in both rat retinal...

Professor Sascha Fauser supervised a review article presenting the imaging modalities and criteria currently used to detect and quantify fibrosis in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The study reveals significant heterogeneity in the current characterization of fibrosis. Most...
