Blind from birth, the mice regained vision Scientists were able to recover one type of light-sensitive receptors in the eyes of mice that was partially restored sight to totally blind to this animal. For this purpose the experts for the first time were able to use the regenerative potential of müller cells in the retina. The results presented in the journal Nature. It is known that fish zebrafish and amphibians special type of auxiliary nerve cells — müller cells — participates in the regeneration of damaged neurons of the retina and restoring vision. However, in mammals these cells can turn into neurons themselves. Nevertheless, such a treatment system must exist, as the retinal damage to some extent stimulate cell division of müller and limited reproduction of the nerve cells.
