BLINDNESS BREAKTHROUGH: JAPANESE TEAM USES STEM CELLS TO RESTORE VISION

In an incredible first, scientists from Osaka University have successfully treated blindness caused by limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) using reprogrammed stem cells.

In their study, three patients with severely impaired vision saw lasting improvement, while a fourth regained sight temporarily.

Importantly, none of the patients experienced severe side effects like tumor formation or immune rejection, even two years after treatment.
