Blindness reversed in mice with artificial photoreceptors made of gold and titanium
They were blind, but now they see. Lab mice in China were given the ability to see again by a group of researchers thanks to the use of gold and titanium oxide as replacement materials for natural photoreceptors. This is the focus of a new study that was recently published in the journal Nature Communications, […]
