Very encouraging news, on the stem cell research front:

http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=17213

Researchers at North East England Stem Cell Institute cured Mr. Turnbull of the disorder using stem cells. The procedure involved extracting stem cells from the good eye, culturing them, and then implanting them in the damaged eye. Mr. Turnbull was among eight patients to receive the treatment.

I do hope, that the NIH takes notice of this, and increases adult stem cell research funding.
