A fish can be a key to restoring sight to the blind
American scientists announced that the zebrafish, which is characterized by the presence of stripes on its body, could be the key to treating blindness in humans, according to The Sun newspaper.
Research has shown that fish can regrow lost or damaged body parts, including the retina, which is a light-sensitive tissue and one of the most common causes of blindness. Zebrafish can recover it in just a week.

Research has shown that fish can regrow lost or damaged body parts, including the retina, which is a light-sensitive tissue and one of the most common causes of blindness. Zebrafish can recover it in just a week.
According to Professor James Patton, a chemical in the fish's brain moves the cells that "migrate" to the damaged organs and repairs them. At the same time, scientists noticed that about 70% of the genes of these fish are similar to humans.
In this regard, scientists hope that patients will be able to "restore a new retina" such as zebrafish.
