Something I have experience with - it’s a big step towards grafts not using human tissue. Results are promising and hopefully we have continued lack of rejection, and long term results (the average human transplant lasts around 10-15yrs, this study only followed patients up to 2 years so more info needed).
One might ask, where is this needed? In the US we actually probably have a surplus of donor corneas. However in other countries with less robust infrastructure this may fill a gap.
I don’t think it’s actually 13 million people but probably a big chunk of that group could benefit.
