Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery. Vision ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

In advanced dry disease, a key problem is failure of retinal pigment epithelium, often shortened to RPE. These cells help ...

The patient said it has given him "a whole new perspective on life." 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
