Scientists Discover Hidden Trigger for Eye Regeneration
Originally Published 5 months ago — by Yahoo News Canada
Scientists are studying the eye regeneration abilities of the golden apple snail, which can fully regrow its eyes within a month, to understand genetic mechanisms that could potentially be applied to human eye repair. Using gene editing techniques like CRISPR, researchers aim to identify key genes involved in regeneration, such as Pax6, with the hope of developing treatments for human eye conditions in the future.
