The retina contains cells extremely sensitive to light:
The cells in the iris (iris) can be genetically modified to form the retinal cells. This achievement opens to seek new materials to repair damaged retinas - the cause of many diseases of vision.
Stimulated a gene from mouse cells in the iris. Result, these cells were self-forming properties identical to the retinal cells (extreme sensitivity to light).
"We have implanted the modified cells in vitro gene in the mouse retina. After a few days, blind mice reacted to light."
The scientists said that in the future, with the help of this method, they will withdraw some cells from the iris to feed patients and transplanted into the retina. However, they still have to wait 1-2 years to eliminate the side effects that may occur during transplantation.
