Muller Cells and RP

Scientists at Schepens, at Harvard, have discovered that Muller cells within our own retinas may have the capacity to turn in to various types of cells. According to this study, these cells have the possible potential of healing diseased retinas.

Why wouldn’t our bodies have the potential to heal themselves in this context? The human body is a miracle. A mundane miracle, but a miracle all the same.
