Scientists have discovered a technology of
reprogramming cell that will help to cure
blindness.
Scientists discovered the ability of cells with
their own roles in the body to return to the
embryonic state by reprogramming. This can
also be used to grow the necessary organs
and tissues for further use in transplantation
and regenerative medicine.
In this way, scientists can grow tissues for
eyes and cure blindness.
The idea itself belongs to Shinya Yamanaka
who is a professor at Kyoto University. He
also won the Nobel Prize in 2012.
Earlier, scientists at Cardiff University and
Osaka University have successfully
transplanted the corneal epithelium to help
blind rabbits to restore the anterior part of
the eye.
