Injectable Nanoparticles Restore Light Response in Blind Retinas
Key Takeaways
- An international team created microscopic particles that act as injectable light receptors for the retina.
- Injected particles settle near retinal nerve cells and trigger electrical and chemical processes that activate them.
- In blind mice, light-induced signals appeared in the visual cortex and animals showed behavioral responses to light.
- The technology also activated nerve cells in retinal tissue from pigs.
