Stem Cell Therapy Helps Blind Patients Regain Vision
It’s being held hailed as one of the biggest successes in the use of stem cell therapy to treat medical conditions and illnesses. A group of researchers has found dramatic success in the treatment of blindness using stem cell therapy.
These patients had suffered serious eye injuries when caustic chemicals had been splashed into their eyes, either at home or during an industrial accident. The burn injuries had led to deteriorating vision. The Italian researchers treated these persons with stem cell transplants from the healthy eye, and monitored them all over for a number of years. The researchers used stem cell transplants from the healthy eye, and placed these on the damaged cornea of the injured eye. They found that the injured eye was able to grow new tissue in the cornea to replace the damaged tissue.
