Scientists have identified never-before-seen cells in the human eye that could potentially help reverse vision loss caused by common diseases, such as macular degeneration. The researchers discovered ...

A radical stem cell transplant has significantly improved the blurry vision of three people with severe damage to their cornea. The clinical trial, which took place in Japan, is the first of its kind ...

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.

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 ...

This research characterizes the current state of scientific investigation into the world of blindness: virtually all human trials are far down the road, and any findings, so far, pertain only to the ...

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging advances, from gene editing and stem cells to microchips and laser-based ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
