Temple says this work has implications beyond the eye .. to treating spinal cord injuries, Parkinson's disease, even Alzheimer's.
"And we have to learn how to activate those cells and now that we find they exist, how do you turn them on in a controlled manner, in a safe manner to repair the central nervous system."
Temple says they're at a pivotal point and would like to begin clinical trials . .but the economy is working against them.
"It's a risky process. We may start off with 100 things and only 20 of those will make it through" says Temple.
So they keep studying ways to uses these newly found cells to replace those lost to disease and how to more effectively activate them, and working to find a champion with deep pockets to help them take the next step.

Newly discovered retinal stem cells may save vision.
RENSSELAER - Welcome to the Neural Stem Cell Institute in Rensselaer. They're doing cutting edge work on encouraging our bodies to regenerate damaged nerves - something animals can do but humans can't .. or, as the theory here goes - we can - but the ability is dormant. And these scientists are working on encouraging our bodies to turn on that ability. They've already made one very big discovery.
"Recently we discovered an entirely new stem cell that exists in the back of the human eye" says Sally Temple, Ph.D., the scientific director and co-founder of the institute.
"So we can activate the cell now and figure out ways to use it to repair diseases like age related macular degeneration.""Recently we discovered an entirely new stem cell that exists in the back of the human eye" says Sally Temple, Ph.D., the scientific director and co-founder of the institute.

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its
full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not
mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL"
means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to
know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is
completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles
in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying
for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe
that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select
articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, racist,
revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any
other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just
means that it is important for all human beings to know about them.
Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good
enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug
decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment,
which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs,
as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and
sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal
record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which
says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes.
The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute.
That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
anti-Semites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your
enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight
them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence
of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
