Scientists use gene therapy and a novel light-sensing protein to restore vision in mice

by  National Eye Institute Detail shows structure of retina, including location of a bipolar cell expressing Nanoscope’s MCO1 opsin. A newly developed light-sensing protein called the MCO1 opsin restores vision in blind mice when attached to retina bipolar cells using gene therapy. The National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, provided a Small...
