Nerve damage and a buildup of immune cells in the cornea may be a sign of "long COVID," a long-term syndrome that emerges in some people after COVID-19 infection, a new study suggests. These ...

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, can ...

An experimental stem cell therapy can successfully treat blinding cornea damage The therapy kick-starts the eye’s ability to maintain its smooth surface Cells are taken from a person’s healthy eye, ...

For the first time in the United States, researchers have rebuilt damaged corneas using a patient’s own stem cells to aid in the recovery from ocular injuries such as chemical burns. For the first ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece is part of a series dedicated to the eye and improvements in restoring vision. In 1999, I defined ...

A type of eye injury that caused blindness and was previously believed to be irreversible has been cured in human trials using stem cells. The cornea is the the outer layer of the eye that focuses ...

Researchers working as part of the University of Georgia's Regenerative Bioscience Center have developed a new way to identify and sort stem cells that may one day allow clinicians to restore vision ...

Farmyard pigs could be the key to restoring sight in people who have lost their vision due to a damaged cornea, a new study reports. Collagen drawn from pig's skin is being used to create an ...

Sight-robbing injuries to the cornea can be repaired using a groundbreaking experimental stem cell treatment, a new study shows. The cornea -- the clear outermost layer of the eye -- can become ...
