This astounds me. I am studying gene therapy for colorblindness as my independent project for a class, and this experiment on Dalton caught my eye. I'm sure my classmates will be just as amazed by this!!!
this is like the coolest thing i've seen in a while. it's amazing that something so dependent on development (vision and perception) can be treated with gene therapy in adult life! it's also really interesting that the gene implanted into the monkeys was a HUMAN gene for the missing pigment
Just heard about this on CBC's Quirks and Quarks. Aren't the causes for colour-blindness and complete-blindness essentially the same? Man, these guys might very well be on their way to a cure for most forms of blindness.
... hey, just like people reaching for that shiny mooneye.. the money is the reward.. no, the reaching for it is.. no, the need to reach for it is the training... and the enslavement.
