KAIST researchers develop drug that regenerates retinal nerves to restore vision
KAIST researchers have developed a novel drug that can restore vision by regenerating retinal nerves, addressing a critical gap where existing treatments only slow disease progression but cannot reverse vision loss. This breakthrough offers hope to over 300 million people worldwide at risk of vision loss from retinal diseases.
