Does cataract happen only when you are a certain age or can it occur when you are a child?
It’s an age-related process but even juveniles and babies can develop cataracts at a much younger age. Probably 99% of cases are with patients over the age of 40. Cataract is usually an ageing problem commonly presented in older patients. Some are born with congenital cataract and usually this is due to some disease. For example, the mother has chickenpox during pregnancy and this causes some lens proteins in the eye to become faulty.
What are stem cells and what is stem cell therapy? How useful is it in treating brain tumours?
Stem cells are a special type of cells that have the capacity to self-renew indefinitely and can give rise to multiple cell lineages. They are present throughout life and vary in their potential for further specialization. Some can give rise to all tissue types (pluripotent) while others are restricted to the cell types within one organ. The potential for these advanced cell therapies to completely change the treatment of diseases is immense. However, to date, the overall number of proven stem cell therapies remain small. They also require rigorous scientific and clinical evaluations.
