Summary:
Reuters reports on a new procedure developed by Advanced Cell Technology using embryonic stem cells that may potentially be able to treat eye disorders:
"Stem cells made from human embryos can home in on damaged eyes, hearts and arteries of mice and rats, and appear to start repairs, a U.S. company said. Massachusetts-based Advanced Cell Technology said it had devised a straightforward way to make blood vessel precursor cells out of the stem cells and plans to test them in humans."
