Research
- What’s the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells?
- What’s the difference between cord blood cells and cord stem cells?
- Phase 2 clinical trials test the safety and tolerability of a proposed treatment. Here’s a phase 2 clinical trial which is testing cord blood cells (my previous post explains what they are) as a possible way to stop damage from dry AMD and hopefully to restore vision. Assuming they get through Phase 2 successfully Phase 3 will compare a placebo group to a group who receive the treatment.
