The researchers describe how they used human stem cells to create a patch, which they then used to fix the macular hole in the monkey’s eye. Macular holes are a somewhat rare condition in which ...

With wet AMD, abnormal blood vessels grow under the macula. The wet form of age-related macular degeneration can start suddenly. You won’t feel pain, but you might notice vision problems.

A study published in Stem Cell Reports demonstrates that human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal organoid sheets effectively closed macular holes in a monkey model. The transplantation promoted the ...

In a major step that could potentially lead to jaw-dropping recoveries in humans affected by conditions such as macular holes, researchers at the Kobe Eye Hospital in Japan have repaired a hole in ...

Whether you want to secure shelves in your garage, hang artwork on an interior concrete wall, or frame walls in your basement, drilling holes in concrete is possible with the right tools and bits.

Macular degeneration is an eye disease that affects your central vision. It occurs when the macula, part of your retina, becomes damaged. Let's explore ways to protect your eyes if you have ...

Human stem cell transplants successfully repaired macular holes in a monkey model, researchers report October 3 rd in the journal Stem Cell Reports. After transplantation, the macular holes were ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

Scientists have achieved a remarkable success in retinal transplantation. They have fixed a hole in a monkey’s retina with a ...

Rather than patching the macular hole with the limited cells already in the eye, stem cells present the option of introducing new cells entirely. For their study, the scientists started by growing ...
