			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eye diseases have been prevalent  amongst humans since long. Looking at the major impact  that they can have on the human&rsquo;s it becomes very important  that good treatment options be  looked out for their cure. Years of research and studies have gone into tests using human embryonic  stem cells to  cure  several degenerative eye diseases. </p>
<p>Scientists have made huge advances  by using stem cell therapy to  cure diseases in animal models. Testing these experimental cell therapy for blind humans poses  some unique challenges. This is something that the scientists wish to try  out soon and effectively. There are several  challenges which lay in front of scientists when  considering stem cell therapy in humans.</p>
<p>One is proving that the use of <a href="http://www.livingcelltherapy.com/stem-cell-therapy-for-blinds/" target='_blank'>Stem Cell For Blinds</a> is safe to use . Another challenge that the body faces is the  issue of immune rejection of the transplanted cells. In such cases care is  required. When introducing foreign cells in the body it requires  that the patient should take  strong drugs to suppress the immune system, as is the case with organ transplants. <br />To  try the efficacy  of the stem cell therapy for blinds and to  treat the eye disease the researchers injected RPE cells derived from embryonic-stem-cell lines into the eyes of rats. This was  a test set up in order to test the efficiency of their proposed  solution towards using stem cell therapy for blinds. These rats had a genetic defect  in their RPE that causes their vision to  slowly deteriorate. The  cured animals performed better in vision tests thereby increasing hope that stem cells for blinds when used in humans could prove  out to be an effective  solution.</p>
