Stem cells: a cure for blindness?
http://royalsociety.org/events/2013/stem-cells-blindness/
Retinal degeneration is a leading cause of blindness in the western world. Drug treatments currently available only serve to slow the disease’s progress and are not always successful. Dr Rachael Pearson has helped develop a novel therapeutic approach to restoring vision, by replacing the cells lost through degeneration with functioning, light-sensitive cells. Professor Mandy Maclean joins her to discuss how this research could revolutionise treatment of visual impairment in the future.
If you would like any further information on this event, please don’t hesitate to contact me via the details below. For further details on all of our events, please visit royalsociety.org/events.
