The dynamics of the limbal stem cell deficiency drugs market are anticipated to change owing to improvements in research and development, rising prevalence, and an aging population. Additionally, the ...

In a pioneering study, stem-cell-derived corneal implants improve sight for patients with severe vision impairment, offering a potential breakthrough for treating limbal stem cell deficiency.

Researchers estimate that more than 10 million people worldwide live with corneal blindness caused by disease or injury to the eye’s cornea. Unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a type of ...

There is a new treatment for damaged corneas called cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells, or CALEC. File Photo by skeeze/Pixabay Sight-robbing injuries to the cornea can be repaired using a ...

Rare eye diseases are the leading cause of untreatable blindness in Europe and affect people of all ages. The RESTORE VISION scientific team has identified seven rare ocular conditions that impact the ...

A radical stem cell transplant has significantly improved the blurry vision of three people with severe damage to their cornea. The clinical trial, which took place in Japan, is the first of its kind ...

The procedure is used to treat limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). The limbus is the part of the eye where the cornea joins the sclera, and where the conjunctiva, which covers the sclera, ends.

An expanded clinical trial that tested a groundbreaking, experimental stem cell treatment for blinding cornea injuries found the treatment was feasible and safe in 14 patients who were treated and ...

Transplanted autologous corneal stem cells successfully repaired corneal injuries in patients. Over 90% of patients achieved complete or partial success. The procedure proved safe with no serious ...

CALEC could become one of the first major examples of stem cell therapy's potential to repair once-unfixable injuries. Reading time 3 minutes Scientists at Mass Eye and Ear are winners of the 2025 ...

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 ...
