One interpretation of this result is that EFTFs
induce an eye field - like fate in pluripotent cells.

In the new work, published June 10 in the journal Scientific Reports, Zhao, Reid and colleagues used a highly sensitive probe to measure electrical
fields in the corneas of isolated
eyes from three different lab mouse models with different types of diabetes: genetic, drug -
induced and in mice fed a high - fat diet.
This interpretation predicts that transcripts expressed in the
eye field should also be
induced in EFTF - expressing pluripotent cells.
These observations prompted us to replace the
eye field with EFTF - expressing pluripotent cells to ask if the
induced retinal cells could generate a normal
eye and if
induced retinal ganglion cells would extend axons to and synapse with their normal tectal targets.
When the endogenous
eye field was replaced with
induced retinal cells, they formed
eyes that were molecularly, anatomically, and electrophysiologically similar to normal
eyes.
