Hello, I am new here. I would like to know if anyone has heard about the new Retina Cell transplant in Alzeimer's patients? The retina is part of the central nervous system and it is believed that ALS patients might benefit too.

Hi Melanie. I haven't heard of that one. I thought the retina was the back surface of the interior of the eye that sends the images to the brain. Where did you find this information?
