Neurobiology: Right timing for retina repair
Thomas A. Reh1
Abstract
Transplants of photoreceptor cells offer hope for treating retinal disease. But getting the cells to make the right connections with the brain has been problematic. It seems the developmental stage of the cells may be the key.
Each year many people lose their sight through disease of the retina. Millions are affected by macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa alone.
