   Lanza's team at Advanced Cell Technology were able to generate retinal pigmented epithelium cells from stem cells, and subsequent studies found that these cells could restore vision in animal models of macular degeneration. [21] [22] With this technology, some forms of blindness could potentially be treatable. [23]
