Stem Cells: A Regenerative Hope for Glaucoma
Glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, is characterized by the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and irreversible vision loss. Current treatments focus on lowering eye pressure but do not address the underlying damage to nerve tissue. However, there is growing interest in the regenerative potential of stem cells for glaucoma treatment. Stem cell […]
Stem Cell Therapy for Enhanced Stroke Recovery
After a stroke, millions of brain neurons die within minutes. While the dead cells can’t be restored, some tissue around the dead area remains alive but non-functioning. Research has found that stem cells target the area with chemicals that save and rejuvenate that tissue. The optimal time for introducing stem cells seems to be between […]
