Nanotech to Restore Vision After Trauma

A first for scientists, using nanotechnology to restore damaged vision. MIT investigators working on a rodent test subject used a self-assembling material made of protein fragments or peptides (the body's building blocks) to repair brain damage. Shuguang Zhang, one of the study's co-author's discovered that placing peptides in a salt solution cased them to grow into thin sheets of water and peptide which form a mesh of tiny interwoven fibers. Neurons then grow through the conducive nanofiber mesh environment. Read more at MIT. ( Add a comment, Search on eBay)
