Can researchers use stem cells to reverse damage in degenerative eye diseases?

Stem cell research may take scientists one step closer to undoing the damage caused by neurodegenerative eye conditions, such as glaucoma. Image credit: Phoebe Jane Barrett/EyeEm/Getty Images. Transplantation of retinal neurons derived from stem cells is a promising approach for the treatment of degenerative conditions of the retina that involve the loss of neurons. The...

Scientists think a peptide could stop, reverse damage to nerve cells

by Carrie Foust, University of Illinois at Chicago Stem cell-derived neurons created in the Regenerative Medicine and Disability Laboratory at UIC allow researchers to see how certain drugs or gene therapies can work in human nerve cells. Credit: Xue-Jun Li/UIC Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago found promising results in their search for a...
