Light-induced charge generation in polymeric nanoparticles restores vision in advanced-stage retinitis pigmentosa rats

Light-induced charge generation in polymeric nanoparticles restores vision in advanced-stage retinitis pigmentosa rats

Retinal dystrophies such as Retinitis pigmentosa are among the most prevalent causes of inherited incurable legal blindness. Here the authors demonstrate that conjugated polymer nanoparticles reinstate visual functions in aged rats with fully degenerated and rewired retinas.
