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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) can differentiate into all major retinal cell types during development, but they permanently lose this capacity as one grows older, leaving the adult retina with no ...
