(PhysOrg.com) -- The song about three blind mice may just be a song of the past according to new research presented by neuroscientist Alan Horsager from the Institute of Genetic Medicine at the University of Southern California with the report set to appear in Molecular Therapy. Using genes from algae injected into the retina, Horsager hopes this research will lead to a treatment for some forms of blindness.
