NIH Researchers Create First Digital Twin of Critical Eye Cells, Opening New Pathways for Vision Disease Therapies

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) say they have developed a highly detailed digital replica of key cells in the human eye, which may advance the study of vision-threatening diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The research was funded by the NIH/NEI Intramural Research Program and was published in Nature Partner Journal–AI.1 The new platform, described as a “digital twin,” allows scientists to study how re…
