Title The Potential of Stem Cells in the Retina and Optic Nerve for Restoring Vision
Creator Gabriel A. Silva, MSc, PhD
Affiliation University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA
Subject Stem Cells; Stem Cell Therapy; Neurodegeneration; Neuroregeneration; Biotechnology
Description In the past decades, stem cell biology has made a profound impact on our views of mammalian development as well as opened new avenues in regenerative medicine. The potential of stem cells to differentiate into various cell types of the body is the principal reason they are being explored in treatments for diseases in which there may be dysfunctional cells and/or loss of healthy cells due to disease.
