American scientists have successfully found a way to treat gene delivery in color blindness, and clinical verification may be possible within two years. This study may allow color-blind patients to feel the lost color again.

According to foreign media reports, more than 10 million Americans suffer from color blindness, but if Maureen and Jay Neitz's research is successful, this number will drop sharply, and this moment will come soon.

As early as 1999, researchers at the University of Washington decided to find a cure for color blindness and spent ten years exploring the causes of color blindness. They finally confirmed in 2009 that they could use gene therapy to cure the symptoms of color blindness in male squirrel monkeys, which were unable to distinguish between red and green at birth.

Just this year, the ophthalmologist worked exclusively with Avalanche Biotech to develop an effective gene delivery method that delivers the genes needed to recognize certain colors in the eye.

Researchers claim that they have developed such a technology and are using a virus. Work before the clinical trials has been completed and Neitzes believes that their treatment can be applied to human therapy within two years. And Neitzes hopes that one day, people with color blindness will need to go to an ophthalmologist for a simple “gene injection” to make their lives more colorful.

Ophthalmologists are also very optimistic about this study by Neitzes. Dr. Rohit Varma of the University of California, Institute of Ophthalmology said: "This technology will be able to cure those with color blindness, or at least for those with color blindness. This study is the first time for those with color blindness. Hope for cure.

Emulsifying agent

Food emulsifier refers to the material that can improve the surface tension between various constituent phases in the emulsifying system and form uniform dispersion or emulsifying body, also known as surfactant. Or to make the insoluble liquid into uniform dispersed phase (emulsion) of the material, add a small amount of oil and water can significantly reduce the interface tension, emulsifying effect of food additives.

Emulsifiers in food include:
Emulsification; Foaming effect; Suspension; Demulsification and defoaming; Complexation; Crystallization control; Wetting; Lubrication.

The emulsifiers provided by our company include: sodium stearyl lactate, calcium stearyl lactate, diacetyl tartrate monoglyceride, sucrose fat ester, distilled monoglyceride, laurate monoglyceride, propylene glycol fatty acid ester, polyglycerin monostearate, etc.
