"We can see clearly now the rain has gone." Thats a tone these mice are singing now. The Oxford University researchers transplanted new developing cells into their eyers and discovered that the researchers could reform the entire light sensitive layer of the retina. Therefore the blind mice could see again. The video that was taken during the research showed that the mice responded to the light by running away from it just as regular mice do. In the looking towards the use of this practice on humans.
