Summary:
Procedures using stem cells derived from human embryos could be utilized in a few years to repair disease-damaged retinas, new research by University of Washington scientists indicates. UW scientists reported Monday that they have successfully used the stem cells to treat diseased tissue in mouse retinas, a key portion of the eye.
Commentary: Hopefully these procedures will be safe and effective in treating a diverse population of patients with eye and vision diseases, disorders and conditions.
