Скачать или смотреть Understanding Stem Cell Research for Macular Degeneration (Short)

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) damages RPE cells—a layer of cells in the retina that support vision. Researchers are testing whether stem cells can be used to replace those damaged cells.

Early clinical trials are focused first on safety, then efficacy. Researchers caution that several more years of study are needed before these therapies might become widely available.

Dr. Sally Temple breaks it down.

Dr. Sally Temple and Dr. Jeffrey Stern of the Neural Stem Cell Institute explained the science and what people with AMD should know during our recent Macular Chat on this topic.
