Age-reversal in mice's eyes through gene therapy
38:38 - 42:26 (03:47)
Researchers have successfully used gene therapy on mice's eyes, turning on three genes that rejuvenated old cells and reversed blindness, but had to perform "cancer checks" on the mice to ensure treatments were safe.

Gene therapy in the eye is seen as a good thing because the viruses that carry the genes stay in the eye and do not go through the rest of the body which avoids any potential health risks from gene therapy, and they do not enter the immune system.
