Benefits of the Stem Cell Therapy for Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa is a rare eye genetic disease that causes eye sight loss. Researchers are trying to find an effective cure for retinitis pigmentosa but till date there is no such cure for this disease. But it is scientifically proven that certain treatments can be helpful for retinitis pigmentosa and stem cell therapy is one such treatment. Stem cell therapy is not only effective in treating retinitis pigmentosa but it also be used for Chronic kidney disease treatment , spinal cord injury treatment, brain injury treatment, etc. This blog will cover the benefits of stem cell treatment for retinitis pigmentosa. The stem cells can substitute the degenerated cells: In the stem cell treatment, healthy stem cells are used to regenerate and repair the genetic defective and degenerated photoreceptor cells (rod and cones). The retinitis pigmentosa disease damages these cells in the retina which leads to the loss of eye sight. But as mentioned the stem cells can replace and repair these de
