stemceller's Journal: Fish Eyes Could Hold Clue To Repairing Retinas In Humans

Science Daily

reports the Wellcome Trust has discovered "A special type of cell found in the eye has been found to be very important in regenerating the retina in zebrafish and restoring vision even after extensive damage. Now, a UK team of scientists believe they may be able to use these cells -- known as Müller glial cells -- to regenerate damaged retina in humans, according to a study published this month in the journal Stem Cells."
