In early November, researchers at Osaka University in Japan published groundbreaking findings in the scientific journal The ...

Researchers led by Osaka University in Japan have conducted the first human trial using induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived ...

Four participants were involved in the study, all of whom suffer from a disorder that causes scar tissue buildup on the cornea, called limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). If the cornea is imagined as ...

Researchers successfully tested the safety and preliminary efficacy of stem-cell-derived corneal implants, showing promise ...

Three individuals with vision disabilities experienced eyesight improvements after receiving stem-cell transplants targeting ...

The cornea is normally renewed by its own stem cells called limbal stem cells. If the limbal stem cells are injured, for example following a chemical accident, it can lead to blindness. Corneal ...

A new study highlights the powerful benefits of a consistent bedtime routine for young children. Researchers found that ...

Limbal stem cell deficiency is a pathologic condition that occurs when the eye's surface cells are damaged and cannot regenerate the surface of the cornea, leading to scarring and ultimately blindness ...

According to neurologists, consuming a low-salt diet may pose health risks, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and even ...

Patients with limbal deficiency may benefit from limbal stem cell transplantation to alleviate persistent epithelial defects, maintain conjunctivalization regression and corneal avascularity ...

The outermost layer of the cornea is maintained by a reservoir of stem cells housed in the limbal ring — the dark ring around ...

Since these tissues are not corneal epithelium and do not possess innate limbal stem cells, it would be interesting to perform longitudinal studies to document the long-term restoration of corneal ...
