Cloning And Stem Cell News, Research and Resources - September 2004 Archives
Researchers at Advanced Cell Technology in Massachusetts have coaxed stem cells into becoming retinal cells.
They used stem cells taking from human embryos created by a team at Harvard University. Dr. Robert Lanza,
Advanced Cell Technology’s scientific director and his team were intrigued when the cells began to cluster
into small globes that looked like little eyes. The technology is still several years away, but can offer
hope to those suffering from degenerative retinal problems.
