Summary:
Embryonic stem cells can serve as a renewable source of replacement tissue to rescue visual function in rats with degenerative eye disease similar to age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in humans. Researchers believe it will be possible to treat diseases of human eyes with cells
Commentary: Maybe further research will enable this finding to be translated into effective treatments for macular degeneration and other eye diseases and disorders in humans.
