New trial for retinal stem cell treatment gets go-ahead at Moorfields Eye Hospital
23 September 2011
Retinal surgeon Professor James Bainbridge (Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology) will conduct the trials that will investigate the safety of using retinal cells derived from stem cells to treat people with advanced Stargardt disease, a form of macular degeneration that causes disabling loss of sight in young people.
