Stem Cell Contacts - Breakthrough!

Stem cell contact lenses cure blindness

This is amazing. Three patients (all blind in one eye) had their sight cured in less than a month. After about 10 days of culturing the lens, it's placed in the patient's eye. A coupla weeks later, the lens begins to repair the damaged eye. Wow.

Also, these stem cells were cultured from the patient's own eye, no destruction-of-embryo necessary which, by the way, I have no problems with (regarding stem cell research). Fantastic new technology that's gonna change the way we live, I think.

"Of the three patients, two were legally blind but can now read the big letters on an eye chart, while the third, who could previously read the top few rows of the chart, is now able to pass the vision test for a driver's license. The research team isn't getting over excited, still remaining unsure as to whether the correction will remain stable, but the fact that the three test patients have been enjoying restored sight for the last 18 months is definitely encouraging. The simplicity and low cost of the technique also means that it could be carried out in poorer countries."

Also, some awesome articles about stem cells.

and... stem cells to grow bigger breasts

The future is here, and it's awesome.

Blah.

Blog's due for a revamp. Will get around to it after I'm done with the shits on Wednesday. The shits meaning Fmath2, Chem and my lovely physics.
