Researchers hope the treatment which involves using a patient s own stem cells to replace lost retina cells will soon be tested in humans. However the appropriate source of stem cells selection must be approved. Scientists use stem cells to grow living lens in eye cataracts can be cured by regrowing the lens in the eye with stem cells a breakthrough hailed as remarkable by scientists. Epithelial stem cells are then lined along the lens capsule to repair the damage.

However unlike the traditional cataract surgery scientists in this study left the outer surface of the lens called the lens capsule intact. Researchers at university of california san diego school of medicine and shiley eye institute with colleagues in china have developed a new regenerative medicine approach to remove congenital cataracts in infants permitting remaining stem cells to regrow functional lenses.
