Japanese researchers have successfully used a transplant of human stem cells to close a hole in a key part of a monkey's retina. They say the achievement could pave the way for better treatment of ...

A macular hole may progress through four stages, each with different features. An early stage hole may resolve without treatment, while a later stage hole typically requires surgery. The macula is a ...

Macular holes are small gaps that form in the macula—the central part of the retina in the eye. They can cause blurred or distorted central vision, making it difficult to read, drive, or see fine ...

The inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique results in significantly better vision in patients with macular hole-associated retinal detachment (MHRD) and highly myopic eyes when ...

Human stem cell transplants successfully repaired macular holes in a monkey model, researchers report. After transplantation, the macular holes were closed by continuous filling of the space with ...

Human stem cell transplants successfully repaired macular holes in a monkey model, researchers report October 3 rd in the journal Stem Cell Reports. After transplantation, the macular holes were ...

A group of scientists restored vision in a monkey by using human stem cells to fix a hole in its retina. The research could open new doors for vision treatment in humans and other animals, too. A new ...
