Cell based therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
29 Nov 2009 
Mutations in the dystrophin gene cause an X-linked genetic disorder: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Stem cell therapy is an attractive method to treat DMD because a small number of cells are required to obtain a therapeutic effect. Here, we ... Read more...
30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term outcomes of keratolimbal allograft (KLAL). METHODS: Scores of such risks as infrequent blinking, blink-related microtrauma, conjunctival inflammation, elevated intraocular pressure, dry eye, symblepharon, ... Read more...
Viability and differentiation of neural precursors on hyaluronic acid hydrogel scaffold.
30 Oct 2009 The traditional notion that injured neurons are unable to regenerate in the adult mammalian brain and spinal cord has long been a concern. This view has led to methodology designed to overcome this problem, most recently by advancements in tissue ... Read more...
