The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, shows that unlike existing artificial retinal implants, the cell cultures are created from natural, biodegradable materials and do not contain foreign bodies or living entities. Until now, artificial retinas have only been made from hard, rigid materials.The new research is the first to successfully use biological, synthetic tissues, developed in a laboratory environment.
The study could revolutionize the bionic implant industry and the development of new, less invasive technologies that more closely resemble human body tissues, helping to treat degenerative eye conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa.Just as photography depends on camera pixels reacting to light, vision relies on the retina performing the same function Human eyes are more than 100 megapixels camera. The retina sits at the back of the human eye and contains…
