"An artificial cornea made from pig skin could end our reliance on human donors and give millions of people worldwide back their sight...worldwide, nearly 13 million people are blind due to problems with their corneas. Only 1 out of every 70 people in need of a transplant gets one, though, and the majority of those in need live in low- or middle-income countries where treatment options are often limited and prohibitively expensive."
