Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC), a type of stem cells that can be generated from cells obtained from adult persons, Dr. Canto-Soler and her research team have recently established a method to generate light-sensitive miniature human retinas in a laboratory dish. At CellSight, they are currently using this breakthrough technology to develop novel stem cell-based therapeutics to save and restore sight in patients with blinding diseases
