Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery. Vision ...

A new stem cell therapy has repaired blinding damage to the cornea in 93% of patients in an early clinical trial. However, severe injuries, such as those caused by chemical burns or infections, can ...

For patients with severe corneal injuries, blindness has often been seen as a life sentence. But a new eye stem cell transplant may change that. Scientists at Massachusetts Eye and Ear have ...

Two teams of scientists have come up with creative new ways to eventually replace clumsy cataract or cornea surgery to help people with vision problems regenerate their own eyes, NBC New reported. In ...

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Stem cells made from human embryos can home in on damaged eyes, hearts and arteries of mice and rats, and appear to start repairs, a U.S. company said on Monday. Sign up here.

Transplanted human stem cells successfully repaired macular holes in monkey models of the disorder. This is according to a new study from researchers at the Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research at ...

Within a month of the treatment, Tyler woke up unable to see in one eye—her retina had detached, a doctor would confirm. Soon ...

A new stem cell therapy has repaired blinding damage to the cornea in 93% of patients in an early clinical trial. The cornea ...

Scientists have successfully used human stem cells to patch a hole in a monkey’s retina, restoring the primate’s vision and marking a successful step forward in the quest to treat age-related vision ...
