(Baylor College of Medicine) A discovery opens the possibility of one day restoring loss of vision by activating the retina's ability to regenerate. Researchers have discovered that the mammalian retina, although it does not spontaneously regenerate, has a regenerative capacity that is kept dormant by a cellular mechanism called the Hippo pathway.
