Stem Cells To Repair Eyes (9/26/2004)
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.
Advanced Cell Technologies, Inc is a publically traded company (OTCBB:ACTC). It is attempting to develop
human embryonic stem cell technology for use in regenerative medicine.
