Muller Glial Cell Could Be Key In Restoring Eyesight In Diabetics
Researcher’s are hoping that in the next 5-10 years they will have a way to grow cells in a laboratory and implant them back into ones eye to restore eyesight.
Scientists have found a type of cell, known as a Muller glial cell, that plays an important part in regenerating retinal damage.
This would be great news for diabetics that live with poor or no eyesight every day. Diabetes and glaucoma combined account for about 3/4 of all blindness in the UK.
Wouldn’t this be grand? Here’s to tweaking the research from rat’s to human’s. Let’s get it done. Restoring eyesight is restoring independence!
