Check out this amazing video about some scientists in Australia who, using stem cells from the patients’ own eyes, were able to significantly restore the sight of patients with blinding corneal disease:
The procedure is so cheap and easy UNSW’s Dr Nick Di Girolamo, lead author of the study, says it even be used to treat patients in poorer countries, “If you’re going to be treating these sorts of diseases in third world countries all you need is the surgeon and a lab for cell culture. You don’t need any fancy equipment.” AWESOME!
