Blind mice can see again, after Oxford University researchers transplanted developing cells into their eyes and found they could re-form the entire light-sensitive layer of the retina.

An expert said breath […]
White blood cells, or leukocytes, are the immune system’s warriors. So when an infection or disease attacks the body, the system typically responds by sending more white blood cells into the fray.
