          Gene Therapy for Dogs With Inherited Blinding Eye Disease Set for Human Trials

          A groundbreaking gene therapy proven successful in treating an inherited, blinding eye disease in dogs is now poised for clinical trials in humans with the rare condition retinitis pigmentosa. The therapy, which halts vision loss by introducing a normal copy of the CNGB1 gene, could potentially benefit around 2 million people affected worldwide.

          Blind People Sense Their Heartbeats Better Than Sighted

          Blind people are better than sighted people at sensing their own heartbeat, a new study reveals. The findings suggest those who are blind have a heightened ability to feel signals from inside their bodies than those who are not visually impaired.

          Lab-created retinal cells created from human stem cells can reach out and connect to neighboring cells, a new study reports. The cells have the capacity to replace damaged retinal cells and carry sensory information. The findings could pave the way for clinical trials for the treatment of a range of diseases associated with vision loss and blindness.

          The Adult Brain Can Recover Lost Vision

          Administering a chemical compound called synthetic retinoids to the retina helped restore brain networks associated with vision and prompted the growth of two times more neurons, effectively restoring vision in adult mouse models of the genetic visual disorder LCA.

          Uncovering the Key Process That Contributes to Vision Loss and Blindness in People With Diabetes

          The loss of blood flow autoregulation caused by diabetes is the result of the disruption of the TRPV2 protein. Even in the absence of diabetes, disrupted blood flow autoregulation causes damage closely resembling that seen in diabetic retinopathy.
