Seeing is not only about reflected light that reaches the eye. It’s also about timing – how quickly and when those signals arrive and are processed by the eye’s retina. When viewing a landscape, for ...

On August 6, 2025, researchers in California revealed how freshwater apple snails can regrow lost eyes. The study, published in Nature Communications, shows the process mirrors human eye anatomy and ...

Human eyes are masterpieces of biological engineering, but once damaged, they cannot rebuild themselves. Golden apple snails, by contrast, routinely replace an entire camera-type eye within a month.

This snail could one day save eyes. The golden apple snail has camera-type eyes that are fundamentally similar to the human eye. Unlike humans, the snail can regenerate a missing or damaged eye. UC ...

Apple snails can fully regrow their eyes, and their genes and eye structures are strikingly similar to humans. Scientists mapped the regeneration process and used CRISPR to identify genes, including ...
