Great news from new nature published research. "historic" indeed.
A person has received the first gene therapy designed to make damaged eye neurons act young again.
The damaged eye cells being targeted are not ordinary eye cells, but brain-like central nervous system neurons that normally do not regrow once injured.
Means success here would be an early sign that medicine may be able to repair brain-like nerve tissue once thought permanently damaged.
