In a pioneering study, stem-cell-derived corneal implants improve sight for patients with severe vision impairment, offering a potential breakthrough for treating limbal stem cell deficiency.

In a major step that could potentially lead to jaw-dropping recoveries in humans affected by conditions such as macular holes, researchers at the Kobe Eye Hospital in Japan have repaired a hole in a ...

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 ...

Nick Kharufeh said he never thought he would see out of his left eye again after suffering an injury several years ago. Now, he is advocating for the procedure that restored his vision. The accident ...

When stem cells are injected into thick tissues, they often clump together and die from lack of oxygen or nutrients, making ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators working to optimize a cell-based treatment for retinitis pigmentosa have uncovered how transplanted neural stem cells interact with host retinal cells to preserve vision.

Researchers working as part of the University of Georgia's Regenerative Bioscience Center have developed a new way to identify and sort stem cells that may one day allow clinicians to restore vision ...

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 ...
