| − | <big>''' | + | <big>'''Bioengineered cornea can restore sight to the blind and visually impaired'''</big> |
| − | <br /> | + | <br />Researchers and entrepreneurs have developed an implant made of collagen protein from pig’s skin, which resembles the human cornea. In a pilot study, the implant restored vision to 20 people with diseased corneas, most of whom were blind prior to receiving the implant. |
| − | + | The study jointly led by researchers at Linköping University (LiU) and LinkoCare Life Sciences AB has been published in Nature Biotechnology. The promising results bring hope to those suffering from corneal blindness and low vision by providing a bioengineered implant as an alternative to the transplantation of donated human corneas, which are scarce in countries where the need for them is greatest. <small>([https://liu.se/en/news-item/biokonstruerad-hornhinna-kan-ge-blinda-synen-ater More])</small> | |
