Episode 7: Eyes Reborn - Exploring Stem Cells and Vision Restoration

Associate Professor Anai Gonzalez-Cordero is a research scientist at the Children’s Medical Research Institute who joins me to discuss regenerative medicine and this incredible exciting possibility for vision restoration. We begin our discussion with the very basics of what stem cells can do, how we are now able to produce them without using embryonic tissue, what disease modeling is and excitingly, how we might manufacture and transplant stem cells to restore vision.
