NEW YORK  - Stem cells transplanted into  the eyes of mice with retinal disease restored and improved the  animals' vision, a finding that may yield benefits for patients  with eye disease, researchers report.

Scientists are successfully treating stress incontinence with a transplant of the patient&#39;s own stem cells. Cells are removed from muscle tissue in the patient&#39;s arm, cultured in a lab, and injected into the wall of the urethra and the sphincter muscle.

Researchers will report today that cells grown from human embryonic stem cells slowed vision loss when injected into the eyes of rats with a disease similar to macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people older than 55.
