Scientists are hoping they could one day repair damaged human eyes — by studying a snail which is already able to do it.
The eye of the apple snail is unusually similar to a human eye but can regrow itself if injured or even amputated.
A study into how this happens has the potential to better understand and find treatments for eye conditions in humans like macular degeneration.
A team from US biomedical research organisation the Stowers Institute for Medical Research discovered the apple snail has complex camera-type eyes like humans.
The researchers have developed tools to alter its genome, resulting in snails with stable gene variations to help better understand the process of regeneration.
The process of apple snail eye regeneration from amputation to full restoration happens n four stages over 28 days.
It begins with wound healing and ends with the emergence of a lens and retina.
Apple snails have eyes that are anatomically similar to those in humans with a lens, cornea, and retina.
The researchers found that a gene called pax6—known to play a crucial role in vertebrate and fruit fly eye development—is also present in apple snails.
In the lab, the team disrupted the pax6 gene function creating healthy snails but with missing eyes.
The snails began to generate eyes. For each stage of the regeneration, the team collected and analysed gene activity.
This information is being used to narrow down which genes are likely most promising for eye regeneration.
