Description
Francesco Saverio Sorrentino and co-authors review retinal transplantation in this 2024 paper. The approach aims to regrow damaged layers of the retina, the light-sensing part of the eye, by placing new cells where old ones have died. Even in late disease, many inner eye cells stay alive, which leaves a path for new light-sensing cells to reconnect.
The review covers stem cell sources, lab-grown retinal tissue, and frames that carry cells into place. The eye suits this work because it tends to accept grafts and needs few cells to work. The authors also weigh gene editing tools and the ethics of using embryonic stem cells. Most methods are still in early trials, and the authors stress that more testing is needed before sight gains are sure.
