How can retinal diseases be cured? 👁️ | »Short Question« with Prof. Marius Ader

When the cones and rods on the eye's retina die, the ability to see fades. At the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD), research is being conducted on how photoreceptors can be regenerated & transplanted. In the "Kurze Frage", Prof. Marius Ader explains why we actually see, how the eye is structured and how retinal diseases could be cured in the future.
