Scientists focus on 'dwarf eye'

...n is located on the surface of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which is located beneath the retina and helps maintain photoreceptors, the eye's light-detecting cells. Blindness occurs when these cells die after detachment of the retina from the RPE. Beneath the RPE are two layers of structural tissue tha...

New study examines how sense of smell affects mating and aggression in mice
