flag Chinese scientists develop gene therapy injection that could restore vision for retinitis pigmentosa patients.

flag Chinese researchers have developed a gene therapy injection that partially restores vision for patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a condition affecting about 1 in 4,000 people. flag Led by Professor Luo Minmin, the team used a recombinant adeno-associated virus to deliver a gene encoding a light-sensitive chicken protein into the eye, requiring only a simple injection. flag The treatment, GA001, could progress to clinical trials by the end of 2025 and offers hope for patients to regain some vision without invasive surgery.
