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 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 ...

A transplant of human stem cells sealed a hole in a monkey’s retina, which seems to have improved its vision, offering hope for a new approach to treat a type of age-related sight loss. As we age, a ...

For decades, restoring sight after severe eye damage sat firmly in the realm of science fiction. Now a wave of converging ...

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 ...

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 ...
