A stem-cell-derived retinal patch enters clinical reporting

A phase 1 study reported a retinal pigment epithelium patch for severe age-related eye disease.

The clinical report described transplantation of an embryonic-stem-cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium patch in patients with severe age-related macular degeneration.

Early clinical observations can inform feasibility and safety questions. They should not be generalized into evidence that stem cells reverse whole-body aging. The archive date is the article publication date.
