Human Embryonic Cells Used to Create a Retina
Scientists have created an early stage retina from human embryonic stem cells to potentially treat retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Continue reading
Retinitis Pigmentosa and Lutein
In a 48-week intervention trial, researchers tested Lutein supplementation for vision protective-function in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The conclusion of the study was as follows: “Comparing the development of vision measures against the natural loss expected to occur over … Continue reading
