The ONE Show 10/02/10 - Statement
The treatment featured on the ONE Show on BBC1 on 10th February is very specific and only works for people who are suffering from corneal scarring caused by stem cell damage, for example people with chemical burns. Unfortunately, developments in treatment for other eye problems are a little behind and will require more research before we get to the stage of human application.
We very sorry that we are unable to be more specific as at this stage of research it is rather difficult to be more precise. We will endeavour to continue our medical research in the field of tissue reconstruction using stem cells and certainly hope that one day in the not too distant future we shall be able to help more people.
For any enquiries e-mail office@nesci.ac.uk, leaving contact details and a brief description of your condition. We’re afraid that due to the number of enquiries we receive we will only be able to respond to people who have this specific condition and could be eligible for this novel treatment.
