Stem cell therapy is being investigated all over the world as a way to repair or replace damaged cells or tissues. While still in the early stages, this research holds great potential for the future of ocular regenerative medicine. Dr. Lesley Everett is part of a world-class team of researchers at the Casey Eye Institute in Portland, Oregon who are at the forefront of this work. Dr. Everett joined us to talk more about what stem cells are, how they work, and what potential this therapy holds for treating eye disease.
View Point is proudly presented by Bayer and supported by Abbvie, Apellis, Beacon Therapeutics, Janssen, MeiraGTx, Novartis and Roche.
