Stem Cell Therapies
News concerning developments and advances in the use of stem cells to treat various eye conditions and diseases, including regeneration of retinal epithelial (RPE) cells and growth of artificial retinas for the treatment of both dry and wet forms of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), diabetic retinopathy (DR), Stargardts disease (Stargardt Macular Dystrophy) (SMD), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
