Age Related Macular Degeneration: Progress and Promise of Stem Cell Research

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a devastating disease that causes blindness. What is the newest regenerative medicine research being pursued to treat AMD? In this video, you will learn about a new technology being tested to use stem cells to replace missing cells in AMD and restore sight!

This video was produced in collaboration with Americans For Cures and explains how stem cell research, funded by California’s Proposition 71: the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative, is leading to groundbreaking advances in age-related macular degeneration.

This video was produced as part of the Americans for Cures Foundation’s Report Back to the Public program. For more information about diabetes, check out the new Americans for Cures website,  Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter accounts.
