Adult Stem Cell Therapeutics in Diabetic Retinopathy

Low Intensity Ultrasound, Proliferation & Growth Indexes in Adult Stem Cell

Sickle cell trait and diabetic retinopathy.

The presence of sickle cell trait and the prevalence and severity of retinopathy were assessed in 124 Negro diabetics. Sickle cell trait had no adverse effect on diabetic retinopathy.

Corneal Defects and Stem Cell Therapeutics

Cornea is the most anterior segment of the eye that provides exquisite vision. This is transparent outermost surface of the eye, consisting of a stratified epithelium, a collagenous stroma and an innermost single-cell layered endothelium. Cornea is an important visual structure assists in providing a clear vision by refracting light onto the lens, which in turn focusing on the retina. It is a v...

Realistic prospects for stem cell therapeutics.

Studies of the regenerating hematopoietic system have led to the definition of many of the fundamental principles of stem cell biology. Therapies based on a range of tissue stem cells have been widely touted as a new treatment modality, presaging an emerging new specialty called regenerative medicine that promises to harness stem cells from embryonic and somatic sources to provide replacement c...
