Summary: A new gene therapy has restored vision in patients with Leber congenital amaurosis type I (LCA1), a rare genetic condition causing blindness. In a small trial, those receiving the highest dose saw up to a 10,000-fold improvement in light sensitivity and significant gains in reading and navigation abilities.

The therapy, developed by researchers, uses a virus-based system to deliver a functioning gene into the retina’s light-sensitive cells. The results show promise for expanding this treatment, with further trials planned to confirm safety and efficacy.

Researchers said the study showed nanobots had the potential to transport drugs to precise locations.

Researchers have just found evidence of “dark electrons”—electrons you can’t see using spectroscopy—in solid materials.

The development could enable precise, relatively low-risk treatment of brain aneurysms, which cause around 500,000 deaths globally each year. The medical condition – a blood-filled bulge on a brain artery that can rupture and cause fatal bleeds – can also lead to stroke and disability.

The study points to a future where tiny robots could be remotely controlled to carry out complex tasks inside the human body – such as targeted drug delivery and organ repair – in a minimally invasive way, researchers say.

Dark matter is the invisible force holding the universe together—or so we think. It makes up about 85% of all matter and around 27% of the universe’s contents, but since we can’t see it directly, we have to study its gravitational effects on galaxies and other cosmic structures. Despite decades of research, the true nature of dark matter remains one of science’s most elusive questions.

Humans are still learning from nature.
