Eye transplants will succeed in the next decade

Scientists have reported that over the years, they have made significant progress by taking the eye of this mouse implanted in another mouse under laboratory conditions and after transplanting, the eye maintains its function. .

According to News.sputnik, eye transplant surgeries have been the target of experts for centuries. Some intermediaries in this direction in the past have achieved certain successes, but so far scientists have not been able to transplant the eyes of one person to another. The major difficulty is that the eye is a twisted, complicated place where blood vessels and nerves connect directly to the brain.

Eye transplant surgeries have been the target of experts for centuries.

However, even so, experts from the University of Pittsburgh, USA, believe that in the next decade there will be an eye transplant. They have prepared for such an operation and hope that it will be possible in the near future. This will help restore vision to people who are blind for many reasons. The project was funded by the US Department of Defense with the calculation that this method was developed to help soldiers who suffered eye damage in the war.

Scientists have reported that over the years, they have made significant progress by taking the eye of this mouse implanted in another mouse under laboratory conditions and after transplanting, the eye maintains its function. . At the same time, one of the main challenges is maintaining the optic nerve cells. According to the researchers, these cells often die immediately after the eye is taken from the original "owner" . Experts have found that visual nerve cell death can be avoided by inhibiting the activity of BAX genes.

Currently, scientists continue animal tests as well as developing new drugs that can tie different genes in the best implant process to successful transplants. Experts predict that their promise will make many people suspect because this is really ambitious goals. However, they still hope the project will be successful.
