Four technologies that could transform the treatment of blindness Thursday, June 6, 2019

A decade ago, clinicians had nothing to offer most people affected by retinal degeneration. Breakthroughs in genetics, bionics and stem-cell therapy are changing that. Credit: Taj Francis Worldwide, 36 million people have total vision loss1. They cannot see shapes or even sources of light. For most of these people, their blindness stems from rectifiable problems such as cataracts — they simply lack access to appropriate health care. The remaining millions, however, are blind as a result of conditions that currently have no effective treatment.

Middle ear transplant to cure deafness using 3D printing technologies Thursday, May 9, 2019

A group of researchers from South Africa have successfully completed a groundbreaking operation with the use of 3D printing technologies. In fact, it represents a big advancement for the medical field, as it is the first time a middle ear transplant has been performed. Moreover, the success of this operation could represent a viable long-term solution to conductive hearing loss. The procedure was performed using 3D printing to reconstruct the broken bones of the patient’s middle ear. The researchers explained that this surgery has the potential of being conducted on patients of all ages, even on newborn babies.

With single gene insertion, blind mice regain sight Friday, May 3, 2019

by University of California - Berkeley March 15, 2019 Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) engineered to target specific cells in the retina can be injected directly into the vitreous of the eye to deliver genes more precisely than can be done with wild type AAVs, which have to be injected directly under the retina. UC Berkeley neuroscientists have taken AAVs targeted to ganglion cells, loaded them with a gene for green opsin, and made the normally blind ganglion cells sensitive to light.
