Squirrel monkeys, which are naturally red-green color-blind, can attain humanlike color vision when injected with the gene for a human photoreceptor. The research, performed in adult animals, suggests ...

In the video, a preposterously cute, gray squirrel monkey named Dalton bonks his head against a computer screen in front of him. Wide-eyed and muttonchopped, Dalton has quite the setup—the screen, ...

Monkeys once color-blind can now see the world in full color thanks to gene therapy. The results demonstrate the potential for such methods to eventually cure human vision disorders, from color ...

Scientists cast a rosy light on the potential for gene therapy to treat adult vision disorders involving cone cells -- the most important cells for vision in people. Scientists used gene therapy to ...

Genetic color-blindness may soon be a thing of the past. A team of scientists has used gene therapy to enable adult squirrel monkeys to see color for the first time, and they believe their technique ...

Scientists have used gene therapy to achieve full color vision in two squirrel monkeys that were born unable to tell red from green. The technique could someday be used on people with colorblindness ...

We all know monkey see, monkey do. And Sam the squirrel monkey sees and does more than most. For one thing, he eats a wider range of food. He likes green vegetables—spinach and kale. True story: He ...

Researchers have successfully used gene therapy to help color-blind squirrel monkeys regain their sight. The development shows offers a new path for treating vision disorders that, until now, were ...

After receiving injections of genes that produce color-detecting proteins, two color-blind monkeys have seen red and green for the first time. Except in its extreme forms, color blindness isn't a ...

Scientists have identified a new species of African monkey with distinct coloring that differentiates it from other species. The new primate species now scientifically named Cercopithecus lomamiensis ...
