The retina is a very complex structure. I’m skeptical that if major damage happens to the structure, like wet macular degeneration or in retinal diseases like PIC, that the structure can ever function again.
- yazaddaruvala 4y agoGiven that every body is capable of creating two working retina, why would you think it can’t re-create at least one working retina? It clearly doesn’t know that the need exists. We have to find the right set of commands and hack the body to re-create one. But the procedure exists even if it involves retina removal and 5+ years of new retina growth (from infant to child).

With or without: a nerve growth factor, e.g. fluoxetine to induce plasticity in the adult visual cortex, combination therapy with cultured conjunctival IPS, laser mechanical scar tissue evisceration and removal, local anesthesia, robotic support, Retinoid Nanotransfection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_nanotransfection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_nanotransfection : > Most reprogramming methods have a heavy reliance on viral transfection. [22][23] TNT allows for implementation of a non-viral approach which is able to overcome issues of capsid size, increase safety, and increase deterministic reprogramming https://www.google.com/search?q=Nanotransfection https://www.google.com/search?q=Nanotransfection
