 New method to treat blindness using retinal cell productionNew method to treat blindness using retinal cell production
 
Scientists in Sweden have innovated a method of treating blindness using embryonic stem cells to produce retinal cells. The team at Karolinska Institutet and St Erik Eye Hospital reported their approach of using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to amend retinal cell production so the generated cells can hide from the body’s immune system, protecting them from becoming rejected.
