Lab-grown Retinal Cells Make Successful Connections….
Successful connections between several types of dish-grown retinal cells were established in the lab, according to a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The paper, a collaboration between the Gamm Lab (co-first-authors Allison Ludwig and Steven Mayerl) and Xinyu Zhao, PhD, is an essential step in moving toward human clinical trials to treat blindness. These results follow several important findings along this pathway in 2022.
