Researchers at University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine have successful restored the vision of mice with corneal defects using stem cells treatments. The stem cells were injected directly into the cornea of the mice. Upon completion of the stem cell treatment the eyes of the mice are reported to look no different than the undamaged eyes of other mice.
