This project explores optogenetic strategies to restore vision in models of retinal degeneration. By making surviving retinal neurons light-sensitive, it aims to recover visual functions and improve the quality of life for individuals with retinal diseases.
Blindness is one of the most devastating conditions affecting the quality of life in developed countries, especially in Europe.
No treatment is known today for retinal degenerative diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa or macular degeneration.
They are hereditary diseases characterized by the progressive loss of photoreceptors, leading to complete blindness.
Recent discoveries of optical neuromodulators, such as channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) or halorhodopsin (NpHR), have opened up new possibilities…
