Revolutionary Stem Cell Treatment Could Restore Lost Sight革命性的干细胞治疗可以恢复抛诸脑后
A revolutionary stem cell treatment developed by British scientists could restore sight in the blind.一个革命性的干细胞治疗研制的英国科学家能够恢复视线，在双目失明。 The transplants could transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of Britons who have lost their sight.移植可变换的生命，数以十万计的英国人，谁失去了他们的视线。
Among those who could benefit are sufferers of macular degeneration - the most common cause of blindness in the elderly - and those who have lost their sight as a complication of diabetes.当中谁可受益是患者的性黄斑变性-最常见的致盲原因，在老人-和那些谁失去了他们的视线，作为并发症的糖尿病。 Eye surgeon Dr Robert MacLaren said there are 300,000 people with macular degeneration and the number is going to treble in the next 25 years as people get older.眼外科医师，博士罗伯特麦克拉伦说，有300000人，与性黄斑变性和数目是去高音在未来25年内，随着人们年龄的。
The researchers, from University College London and London's Moorfields Eye Hospital, used stem cells - blank cells with the power to turn into different types of cells - to restore the vision in blind mice.研究人员，从英国伦敦大学学院和伦敦的moorfields眼科医院，用干细胞-空白单元格与电力转入不同类型的细胞-恢复高瞻远瞩，在失明小鼠。
The cells were injected into the back of the eye where they replaced damaged photoreceptors - tiny light-sensitive cells found in the retina and key to vision.细胞被注入到后面的眼睛，他们更换损坏的光感受器-微小的光敏感细胞，发现在视网膜和关键的远见。
While stem cells are often obtained from embryos in the first days of life, it is thought the patient's own eye could hold a bank of cells suitable for transplant.而干细胞往往是从胚胎取得，在第一天的生活，它被认为是病人自身的眼睛可容纳一间银行的细胞，适合移植。
Using the patient's own cells would also avoid the possibility of 'foreign' cells being rejected by the body.利用患者自身的细胞也将避免的可能性， '外国'细胞被拒绝由身体。
However the scientists caution that the technique is still in its infancy.不过，科学家警告称，该技术仍处于起步阶段。 However, they are hopeful of the first human photoreceptor transplants taking place within ten years.不过，他们希望人类第一次光感受器移植发生的十年。
