Changing eye color by gene transduction Aka gene therapy

[lmafaouserexg]

A report from the Ophthalmology times describes a new gene therapy technique that scientists have used to successfully the change eye colors of rabbits.

In this technique they inject a specially engineered virus in the front of the eye to deliver a specific gene to the pigmented cells called melanocytes in the Iris this gene called the herpes simplex virus thimodine kinase or hsvtk is what they call a “suicide gene” and so by injecting this genetically engineered virus carrying the suicide gene into the front of the eye they're able to specifically target the pigmented cells in the front of the Iris so far the results have been promising in rabbits but there's still a long way to go before the technology moves on to human use the scientists will also need to make sure that they're selectively able to target only Iris pigment cells and not inadvertently target other cells in the retina the eye or the whole body which would obviously cause a whole slew of problems. Thoughts on this?

yeah that's what i did it works guys do it yourselves at home

GOING BLIND WITH THIS ONE

I would rather be exposed to the lazer from yeux clairs than letting anyone inject shit in my eye, I suppose you would need general anesthesia for this right? fuck that!

DIY thread when?

Yes indeed, the patient is under anesthesia during the procedure, which involves removing the clear gel inside the eye and injecting a drug under the retina. The drug contains a healthy copy of the RPE65 gene, which restores the retina's ability to respond to light. The patient usually begins to see results about a month after the injection. The patient undergoes two separate procedures, one for each eye, at least one week apart.

JFL why would you do that instead of lazer?

 

[swuizzy]

just rape ur eyes and go blind theory

Gene therapy can improve a patient's eyesight and retina sensitivity. Laser only changes the colour lol. It’s still being studied btw.

Tiktoktards fail to realize how revolutionary this is, if done correctly there’s no way anyone will go blind. It’s far more promising than lasers which get you to a murky color over the span of multiple sessions.

maybe? its still being studied tho

Seems a bit dangerous
