Fish May Hold the Key to Curing Eye Illnesses

New research has raised the possibility that human retinas may someday be induced to regenerate themselves, thus restoring vision. Fish retinas have this self-regeneration ability, and it was while investigating the phenomenon in zebrafish that biologists from Vanderbilt University discovered a “signal” that appears to trigger the self-repair process. If confirmed by follow-up studies, the… Continue reading Fish May Hold the Key to Curing Eye Illnesses
