Caption: A team of scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's School of Medicine and Public Health, led by David Gamm, assistant professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences, and Jason Meyer, research scientist, has successfully grown multiple types of retina cells from two types of stem cells — suggesting a future in which damaged retinas could be repaired by cells grown from the patient's own skin. Pictured here in a microscopic photograph are early retinal cells (green) and early brain cells (blue).
