Summary:
- Researchers have discovered a new type of stem cells in the human retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye.
- These retinal stem cells have the potential to differentiate into various cell types found in the retina, including photoreceptors, which are responsible for vision.
- The discovery of these retinal stem cells could lead to new treatments for eye diseases and vision loss, as they could potentially be used to regenerate damaged or lost retinal cells.
