Three blind mice no longer blind

Read an interesting article in New Scientist today.

Researchers have restored the vision of some (deliberately) blind mice by transplanting precursor retinal cells into their damaged eyes.

It is hoped that it may lead to a cure for blindness due to diabetes, and also for age-related macular degeneration.

Re: Three blind mice no longer blind

MMMmmm it certainly seems interesting. I await firther developments with interest.

Although I'm sure it will be many years before they try it on people, and in my case I will be fully adapted by then, so I'll be happy to let someone who really needs it to have a go.
