Holoclar
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Holoclar is a stem cell therapy for people with severe limbal stem cell deficiency due to burns in the eye.[1][2]
Its approval in 2015 by the European Commission was the first time that a stem cell therapy, other than the use of umbilical cord stem cells, was allowed to be sold by any regulatory agency in the world.[3]
It works by seeding stem cells to promote the regrowth of the cornea.[3][4]
Manufacturing and logistics
Once cultured at the lab in Germany the cells must be implanted within 36 hours.[5] Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
