The cornea is the transparent frontmost layer of the eye that both protects it and helps us see clearly by focusing light on ...

A new therapy repairs corneal damage to a patient's eye using stem cells from their other, healthy eye. A new stem cell ...

Sight-robbing injuries to the cornea can be repaired using a groundbreaking experimental stem cell treatment, a new study ...

Results from a phase 1/2 clinical trial of a novel stem cell treatment for cornea injuries found 14 patients treated and tracked for 18 months had a more than 90% success rate at restoring the ...

An expanded clinical trial that tested a groundbreaking, experimental stem cell treatment for blinding cornea injuries found the treatment was feasible and safe in 14 patients who were treated and ...

A recent Lancet study has revealed that stem-cell transplants using ... back to an embryonic-like state. These cells are then used to create a transparent tissue sheet, which is grafted onto ...

Stem cells are cells that have the capacity to self-renew by dividing and to develop into more mature, specialised cells. Stem cells can be unipotent, multipotent, pluripotent or totipotent ...

If cells are removed from the embryo they will differentiate into any cell type. These are called embryonic stem cells. Some stem cells remain in the bodies of adults as adult stem cells.

Aging is inevitable for most cell types in the human body, but hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) seem to defy the process. They retain their self-renewing ability almost throughout an organism’s ...

Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent adult stem cells that are present in multiple tissues, including umbilical cord, bone marrow and fat tissue. Mesenchymal stem cells can self-renew by ...
