All in the eyes: High resolution retinal maps aid disease diagnoses

Researchers have conducted one of the largest eye studies in the world to reveal new insights into retinal thickness, highlighting its potential in the early detection of diseases like type 2 diabetes, dementia and multiple sclerosis.

COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This image shows antibodies (shown in orange and purple) binding to ‘spike proteins’ on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 virus (shown in teal and yellow). Spike proteins are critical for SARS-CoV-2 to enter human cells, and this can be blocked by specific antibodies – breaking the infection cycle. Credit: WEHI
