Researchers at Osaka University Hospital used corneal epithelial cell sheets derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to treat four patients with limbal stem-cell deficiency (LSCD). πŸ˜€ The results were encouraging: all patients showed improved vision and reduced corneal opacity after a year, with no significant adverse effects. This breakthrough paves the way for further research, including larger clinical trials to assess the potential of iPSCs as a treatment for LSCD. ## Related posts [![](https://visionexecutives.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sightglass%20Vision.png?height=200&name=Sightglass%20Vision.png)](https://visionexecutives.com/blog/sightglass-vision-inc.-presents-their-two-year-data-from-myopia-control-efficacy-for-vision-spectacle-lenses) ## [SIGHTGLASS VISION, INC.
