Stem cell therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking treatment option for corneal injuries, offering hope to individuals ...

Researchers successfully pulled off the first eye stem cell transplants to help heal cornea damage, and the results speak for ...

The study evaluated 14 patients that were treated with cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells (CALEC) and followed ...

Unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a type of corneal disease caused by certain injuries that can lead to vision loss. The cornea is the outermost clear layer on the front of the eye.

The procedure, called CALEC (cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells) involves taking stem cells from a healthy eye, expanding it into a graft over several weeks, then transplanting it into ...

Unilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) is a type of corneal disease caused by certain injuries that can lead to vision loss. A new clinical trial is testing a potential new stem cell ...

The treatment, called cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells (CALEC), was developed at Mass Eye and Ear. The innovative procedure consists of removing stem cells from a healthy eye with a ...

The outer border of the cornea, the limbus, contains many healthy stem cells called limbal epithelial cells, researchers explained in background notes. These cells constantly rebuild the cornea ...

A limbal stem cell process may restore the corneal surface for patients with debilitating corneal injuries. A novel stem cell therapy demonstrated potential in restoring the corneal surface in ...
