In England alone there are over 1 million people with damaged retinas.

There are millions more in America ~ and huge multiples of that worldwide.

You have but one eye to give, and then you are blind.

While recovering from three retinal surgeries I came to the conclusion that what I need most is a NEW RETINA, glial cells and all. Given the fact that an awful lot of existing retinal problems are a consequence of histo-incompatibilities and other negative involvement with the immune system, it's highly likely any practical application of this process will be based on use of the patient's own stemcells.

Somehow it's surprising that the critical component in the eye ~ the retina ~ is actually SELF ORGANIZING ~ just pour some secret elixer (chemicals) on some stem cells and BINGO, new retina!

This discovery may well be one of the most important in human history.

Idunno is there such a thing as two-dimensional culture? ...counting down until the know-it-alls appear...
