The vision of mice with damaged optic nerves has been partly restored by generating new nerve cells in the eye to replace ones that died. The hope is this approach could help treat people with conditions that cause blindness by damaging the optic nerve, such as glaucoma.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can regenerate those cells,\u201d says Biraj Mahato<\/a> at the Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles in California. But more studies in larger animals will have to be done before\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
