This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

WEDNESDAY, March 5, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Sight-robbing injuries to the cornea can be repaired using a groundbreaking ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye ...

The procedure, called CALEC (cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells) involves taking stem cells from a healthy eye, expanding it into a graft over several weeks, then transplanting it into ...

The procedure proved safe with no serious adverse events reported. Transplanted epithelial stem cells from a healthy eye repaired irreversible corneal injury and restored at least partial vision ...

Researchers successfully pulled off the first eye stem cell transplants to help heal cornea damage, and the results speak for themselves.

The treatment, called cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cells (CALEC), was developed at Mass Eye and Ear. The innovative procedure consists of removing stem cells from a healthy eye with a ...

A new study suggests the presence of Nora virus in laboratory strains of Drosophila fruit flies influences their resilience to stress and bacterial infection and can confound experimental studies of ...

Since it’s on the frontline of potential hazards from the outside world, the cornea features a population of limbal epithelial stem cells, which repair minor damage to keep the surface smooth ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Cancer Center have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies ...
