The secrets of permanent blindness have finally been revealed by stem-cell research. This could lead to significant discoveries because not only can scientists develop more tailored drugs, but they could potentially use the stem-cell models to test hundreds of drugs in pre-clinical assays.
The world's most common cause of lifelong blindness, glaucoma, has been linked to certain genetic markers in research on the retina and optic nerve using stem cell models. These findings may lead to th...
