Researchers use single-cell analysis to show how transplanted neural stem cells interact with the retina to preserve vision in retinitis pigmentosa.

Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how ...

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 ...

Every year, thousands of people are blinded suddenly, like Durst, by injuries to their cornea, the dome-shaped lenses that cap each iris. These injuries are often debilitating. In the weeks after his ...

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 ...

Eye injuries that damage the cornea are usually irreversible and cause blindness. But a new clinical trial has repaired this damage in patients thanks to a transplant of stem cells from their healthy ...

The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to ...

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 ...
