The first conference on stem therapy in ophthalmology was held at Tehran’s Farabi Eye Hospital, on Friday. “One reason that stem cells are important is because they can be used for regenerating different parts of the body,” Dr Alireza Lashay, scientific secretary of the congress was quoted by IRNA as saying. The latest methods for reprogramming of adult cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a type of stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells, were discussed at the conference.
