Summary:
British researchers announced that they have restored vision in mice by implanting light-sensing cells that provide night vision, known as "rods," from a healthy mouse into blind ones. The procedure is a groundbreaking experiment that might eventually be able to restore sight to people with visual impairments. The researchers also believe a similar method could also be used to replace the cells that provide daytime color vision.
