Inside the human eye, the retina is made up of several types of cells, including the light-sensing photoreceptors that ...

Lowder et al [11] used a high-speed prototype SDOCT (2000 A-scan/s, 1.3 μm wavelength) to characterize inflammatory and pigmented cells in the AC as hyperreflective spots. In 28 nongranulomatous ...

In this new process, stem cells taken from a person's healthy eye can be used to rebuild the cornea in their damaged eye, researchers reported March 4 in the journal Nature Communications. The ...

Stem cells from the patient's healthy eye transplanted into the injured eye successfully repairing previously "irreversible" ...

An expanded clinical trial that tested an experimental stem cell treatment for blinding cornea injuries found the treatment ...

A new stem cell therapy has repaired blinding damage to the cornea in 93% of patients in an early clinical trial. However, severe injuries, such as those caused by chemical burns or infections ...
