Why cell reprogramming research can give breakthroughs into treating irreversible eye conditions
Cell reprogramming could be the antidote for millions of glaucoma patients and patients of other macular degeneration eye diseases. In the technique of cell reprogramming, retina cells are reprogrammed to become stem cells. This aspect makes these cells start producing new neurons. Therefore, the production of new neurons indicates a potential reverse of formerly irreversible […]
