When genetic mutations cause chromosomes to break apart and fuse together in different ways, normal cells can become cancerous. In this image, normal chromosomes (blue) are shown with chromosomes (green and red) that have been altered using CRISPR-Cas9 genome engineering and fused back together.<br><br> <a href="https://www.salk.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Dixon-lab-image.jpg">Click here</a> for a high-resolution image.<br><br> Credit: Salk Institute

Lab-grown ‘mini eyes’ shed light on blindness in rare genetic disease

Newswise – Researchers from the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (UCL GOS ICH) have developed ‘mini eyes’, which help to study and better understand the development of blindness in a rare genetic condition called Down syndrome. ‘Usher for the first time. The 3D ‘mini-eyes’, known as organoids, were grown from stem cells …
