Nanoparticle drug delivery system super-enhances neuron regeneration in zebrafish eye, new study shows

In a recent study from the Wilmer Eye Institute, researchers say they found that using a nanoparticle to target immune cells in the eyes of zebrafish enhanced neuron regeneration rates after injury. This research expands on previous studies, from Wilmer and other institutions, which showed that immune cells (microglia) regulate retinal cell regeneration in zebrafish and mice models.
