Stamina cells
Stem cells are cells that theoretically have the potential to "transform" into any type of cell in the body, therefore their use in medicine has been contemplated for years with the aim of restoring damaged or lost cells and tissues.
optogenetics
The possibility of being able to insert a therapeutic gene into the cells of a patient suffering from hereditary pathologies has given rise to another fascinating therapeutic approach, that of optogenetics.
Gene therapy
Gene therapy is a modern medical approach aimed at "treating" diseases that have a genetic basis by "healing" the "defective" genes that are responsible for them.
Optopharmacology
Optopharmacology studies the possibility of making the residual cells of the internal retina of patients suffering from a degenerative retinal disease sensitive to light.
