There is hope for those who suffered damage to the retina to return to normal view. Researchers found that the algae might replace damaged cells in the retina.
That's because the cells in the retina is very similar to cells found in algae. Experiments have been conducted the research team of University of Southern California in mice indicates success.
They were immediately tested on humans. "The idea is to develop treatments for blindness," said Alan Horsager, one researcher, as quoted from the Telegraph.
Millions of people around the world experiencing vision problems caused by retinal damage. This discovery, according to Alan, it could be a new method to overcome blindness.
Retinal cell function itself, which is converting light into electrical and chemical signals that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve. If these cells do not work, then the eye loses vision function.
Algae cells are extremely sensitive to light so they can search for sunlight for photosynthesis. These cells which might be expected can be used to replace the damaged retinal cells.
Later, cells and genes from algae will be injected on the retina. In initial experiments showed that blind mice can see the light again after treatment and the effect is permanent.
"It promises to be a clinical trial with the information already collected. But it should be known how obvious, such as light and dark eyes, or whether the latter can be used to read the text," said said Pete Coffey, from University College London.
