Researchers successfully pulled off the first eye stem cell transplants to help heal cornea damage, and the results speak for ...

A new stem cell therapy has repaired blinding damage to the cornea in 93% of patients in an early clinical trial. The cornea is the clear dome that covers the front of the eye and helps to focus light ...

Researchers estimate that more than 10 million people worldwide live with corneal blindness caused by disease or injury to the eye’s cornea. Unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a type of ...

Base editing corrected a mutation that causes macular degeneration, highlighting the potential of gene therapy to treat ...

The study evaluated 14 patients that were treated with cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells (CALEC) and followed ...

A type of eye injury that caused blindness and was previously believed to be irreversible was cured in human trials using ...

Researchers developed pig retinal organoids similar to human ones, advancing stem cell-based vision restoration and enabling ...

Treatment shows potential to slow the progression of human degenerative eye diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa.

Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that initiate the cascade of events that lead to vision. Damage to the photoreceptors, ...

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 ...
