Two blind people have shown signs of being able to see again – despite having incurable eye disease – following a revolutionary operation involving the transplant of stem cells derived from a human embryo.

A third patient, a Yorkshire man who volunteered to take part in a similar trial in Britain, had a similar transplant operation last week involving the injection of embryonic stem cells into the damaged retina at the back of the eye.
The three people are the first wave of patients to receive controversial transplants of embryonic cells as part of an ambitious attempt to treat a range of incurable diseases with stem cells that have the power to develop into any of the dozens of specialised tissues of the body.
The two American patients, who each received transplants in just one of their eyes last year, have not shown any signs of serious side effects, such as tissue rejection or the development of tumours, according to a study to be published later this week in The Lancet.
One of the patients, a woman in her 50s, suffers from Stargardt's macular dystrophy, a progressive disease of the central retina that usually strikes between the ages of 10 and 20. The other, a woman in her 70s, has age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the developed world.
Although both patients have exceptionally poor vision and are legally registered as blind, their sight in the treated eye seems to have improved slightly following the transplants, even though their disease is at an advanced stage and was not expected to recover.
The Stargardt's patient went from only being able to see hand movements to being able to see the movements of fingers, while the age-related patient went from being able to see 21 letters on a reading chart to seeing 28 letters.
"Despite the progressive nature of these conditions, the vision of both patients appears to have improved after transplantation of the cells, even at the lowest dosage," said Robert Lanza, chief scientific officer of Advanced Cell Technology, the Massachusetts company that supplied the cells.
"This is particularly important, since the ultimate goal of this therapy will be to treat patients earlier in the course of the disease where more significant results might potentially be expected," Dr Lanza said.
In a separate clinical trial being conducted in Britain, a 34-year-old Yorkshire man suffering from Stargardt's disease underwent an embryonic stem cell transplant in his right eye last Friday at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London.
Professor Douglas Bainbridge, a consultant surgeon at Moorfields, said the operation was deliberately carried out on the patient's worst eye in order to minimise the risk to his overall vision. There were no adverse reactions and the patient was allowed to travel back to his home in Wakefield yesterday.
"There were no complications and the patient tolerated the surgical procedure well. We will be regularly monitoring the patient to follow the safety and tolerability of these transplanted cells," Professor Bainbridge said.
"While this is still primarily a safety trial, we will also have the opportunity to assess any changes in visual function in the treated eye and look for signs that the injected [cells] engrafted in the retina," he said.
Macular degeneration involves the progressive loss of cells in the retinal epithelium, the tissue layer that supports and protects the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye. Patients with macular degeneration lose their central vision, which is important for reading and recognising faces.
"It is hoped that cell transplants might play a role in protecting people from sight loss in the future. This is a very early, small step in the development of a new, effective intervention," Professor Bainbridge said.
"This is a safety trial so we are deliberately going for patients with advanced sight impairment to limit the possible damage from the stem-cell transplants. In future we'll be looking to recruit less advanced patients," he said.
Up to 12 patients with Stargardt's disease will be recruited into the phase one safety trial in Britain, which is being run from Moorfields and Aberdeen. Different doses of stem cells will be compared for safety in preparation for a phase two clinical trial designed to assess whether the therapy can significantly restore vision.
The only other phase one clinical trial of human embryonic stem cells was designed to test their safety on patients with spinal cord injury. However, the trial was abandoned last November when the American biotechnology firm Geron announced it was pulling out of the entire field over financial concerns.

It looks like a great discover!
Why is this OlimpiqStemCell still in a shadow?
All the people should know about this...but they don't.

OLIMPIQ STEMXCELL
is a new discovery, a new product category in food supplementation!
One of the most important problems of stem cell research of our days is how to propagate adult stem cells. If we are able to make our organisms produce more stem cells in a natural way, our bodies will be able to correct the faults or injuries occured because of an illness, accident or simply as a consequence of aging.

A NEW DISCOVERY!
ENTROPY?
Majority of people know what entropy means: for example in case we do not clean the house, it willbe less clean on the last day than on the first one.The effort of all the materials and energies is, if left alone, to collapse and grow the disorder,spread, except for the case when the effect of an outer force overcomes.
Everything perishes in the world, if not maintained. It is the same with our bodies. We keep fighting against entropy in our system as long as we are alive.
Embryonary stem cells are gained from embryos who were born after artificial insemination. Research on this field is prohibited in certain countries due to the protection of embryonary life and respect for its dignity. As adult stem cells have got the same properties as the former, researches usually focus on the latter.
Adult stem cells rather in the focus of research nowadays
The more stem cells there are in the blood the better it is for the body.This is a phenomenon discovered recently. The body maintains itself building optimal health for theself.
More stem cells are far more able to support restoration.
Bone-marrow stem cells constitute the natural renewal system of the body.
Adult stem cells
are born in the bone-marrow, circulating in the blood-stream their function is to regenerate our organs. By the progression of aging the number of generating stem cells is decreasing significantly. The possibilities of use of stem cells is multifunctional. That is they are able to develop into any other type of cells and they can transform. In case more stem cells are available in the blood-stream the regenerative processes of our bodies can be enhanced and the malfunction or disability of certain organs can improve. Therefore the purpose of certain organ-repairing surgeries is the stem cell transplantation.
What is astem cell?
Stem cells are cells which are able to transform into any other type of cells with different functions.
With other words we call them cells who are capable of anything.
After conception the embryo consists of such cells which are capable of anything. beginning from the fifteenth day of development these cells differentiate, nerve, muscle, bone and skin cells will grow from them. However a certain small number of cells remain unchanged and are capable of anything.
The real purpose of stem cell research:
- Creation of organs ready to full transplantation
- Any other cell can be created from stem cells.
- They are able to resuscitate certain non-functioning parts of various organs.
Two types of stem cells are known: adult and embryonary ones.
Adult and embryonary stem cells have got very similar properties, the difference is that adult stem cells are more difficult to isolate (separate) from the bone-marrow.
Enhancement of the number of stem cells
Technique Characteristics
Stem cell therapy Embryonary Expensive, complicated, might emerge moral From embryos, blood from the navel-cord problems.
Stem cell therapy Adult stem cells Very expensive, operation risk, From bone-marrow. applied in very serious cases.
Stem cell propagation OLIMPIQ No risks, natural base material, Adult stem cells STEM X CELL available for anyone.
Adult stem cells are born in the bone-marrow and get to the organs and tissues through the blood-stream.
The path of stem cells!
Stem cells leave the bone-marrow and get into the blood-stream, then get to the organs and therethey become some specific cells of the given organ.In case any of the organs does not function optimally, it sends a message to the bone-marrow,which in turn recognizes the information and sends stem cells to the organ where the messagecomes from.Stem cells have to reach the organs in need, recognize them and transform into cells of their tissues.The organ will be able to renew this way.
Using stem cells...
They are not only able to regenerate organs, but tissues or bones as well.
The gel-looking material constituting the intervertebral disk can be grown, too (e.g. in case of vertebral disk degeneration)
Pancreas development has been practiced for ten years.
Lost vision can be regained.
Successful liver, myocardium (cardiac muscle) and leukemia treatments.
Diabetes can be treated this way.
