Scientist Succeeds In Growing Retinal Eye Cells In A Lab

This exciting development may be the precursor to conduct clinical trials on humans who have degenerative eye diseases, with the ultimate goal of treating vision impairment and blindness. These clusters of retinal cells, called organoids, can be used as replacement parts to replace certain cells lost or damaged by eye disease.
