Scientists Regrow Retinal Cells in The Lab Using Nanotechnology

The degeneration is the consequence of damaged retinal pigment cells. Our bodies are unable to grow and replace these cells once they start dying, so scientists have been exploring alternative methods to replace them and the membrane within which they sit.

"In the past, scientists would grow cells on a flat surface, which is not biologically relevant."

"Using these new techniques the cell line has been shown to thrive in the 3D environment provided by the scaffolds."
