Gene therapy injected into eye may fix FA vision problems: Study

An experimental gene therapy injected into the eye preserved the structure and function of the retina in mouse models of FA, per a study.

Friedreich's Ataxia News

In a ground-breaking advance for regenerative medicine, scientists have successfully restored vision by using stem cells to regenerate corneal tissue, the transparent layer that covers the front of the eye. Unlike traditional corneal transplants, which rely on scarce donors and carry a risk of immune rejection, this method uses a patient’s own stem cells to grow new, healthy tissue that integrates seamlessly with the eye.

The results have been extraordinary—patients with severe vision loss, once reliant on donors or resigned to permanent impairment, regained clear sight with minimal complications. Early clinical trials show that the regenerated corneas remain stable over time, offering lasting improvements in vision and quality of life.

Beyond corneal injuries, researchers see enormous potential in extending this approach to other causes of blindness, such as retinal damage and age-related eye diseases. By harnessing the body’s own healing mechanisms, medicine is shifting from replacement therapies to natural renewal, opening the door to a future where blindness can be reversed.

Slow Mo Guys team up with Steve Giralt to film super fast robots in super slow motion

I wondered how long it’d be before these two did some kind of collaboration and now it’s finally here. We’re big fans of The Slow Mo Guys here at DIYP, who use Phantom cameras to show us events recorded in super slow motion, letting us see new things that our eyes simply aren’t capable of […]
