Researchers Perform World's First iPS Cell Implant Surgery On Human

KOBE, JAPAN - SEPTEMBER 12: Masayo Takahashi, a researcher at Riken's Center for Developmental Biology, talks about the operation at a news conference on September 12, 2014 in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. Japanese researchers conducted the world's first surgery to implant induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells into a human body, representing a major step forward for regenerative medicine. In the clinical test, a sheet of retinal pigment epithelium cells created from iPS cells was implanted into a female patient with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), an intractable disease that can lead to blindness in older people.
