Craig Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16687974 Early results from the world's first human trial using embryonic stem cells to treat diseases of the eye suggest the method is safe, say researchers. US firm Advanced Cell Technology told The Lancet how two patients who had received the retinal implants were doing well, four months on. Trials of the same technique have now started at London's Moorfields Eye Hospital. But experts say it will be years before these treatments are proven. The aim of these first human studies is to establish that the treatment is safe to use. Incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
