Episode Synopsis

What if blindness wasn’t permanent? What if science could actually restore vision instead of just slowing its loss?
 
That’s exactly what researchers in Korea are working on—and their latest discovery could change millions of lives. In this episode, we break down how a single protein, PROX1, might be the key to unlocking stem cell regeneration in the human retina.

Zebrafish can naturally heal their eyes… humans can’t. But with a new gene therapy that blocks PROX1, doctors believe we could finally repair retinal damage caused by macular degeneration, glaucoma, and more.
 
We’ll cover:


How scientists discovered this groundbreaking pathway.


Why current treatments only delay vision loss—and how this could reverse it.


The timeline for human clinical trials (hint: we’re looking at 2028).


What this means for the future of medicine, tech, and even quality of life as we age.



The idea of restoring sight isn’t science fiction anymore—it’s science in motion.
