Researchers reverse congenital blindness in mice, study finds


The technique takes supportive cells in the retina called Mller glia and changes them into photoreceptors, light-sensitive cells allowing people to see in low light. The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, found that photoreceptors created with this technique developed as effectively in congenitally blind mice - those born blind - as in normal mice.
