NEI AGI Seminar: Human iPSC-derived 3D retinal tissue for stem cell-based therapies for retinal degenerative diseases
Dr. Canto-Soler completed her Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences at Austral University in Argentina and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University. She joined the Wilmer faculty as a research associate in 2006 and was promoted to assistant professor in 2008. In July 2017 she joined the Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine as the Doni Solich Family Chair in Ocular Stem Cell Research and the Director of CellSight – the Ocular Stem Cell and Regeneration Research Program. Over the years she has received several national and international awards including ...

Sayer Vision Research Lecture: Translating RPE Biology into Disease Treatments using iPS Cells
12th Sayer Vision Research Lecture Dr. Bharti's laboratory developed and functionally validated in vitro models of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). The RPE cells, matured on a biodegradable scaffold, formed a functional monolayer patch. The FDA recently approved a phase I/IIa safety and feasibility clinical trial to test an autologous iPSC-RPE patch in patients with the geographic atrophy form of age-related macular degeneration.Air date: 4/21/2020 11:00:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

We are what we eat: nutrition, genes, cognition & deep learning in age-related macular degeneration
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the United States and in the developed world. Two NIH-supported randomized clinical trials with 10 years of follow-up in nearly 10,000 participants demonstrated that nutritional supplements with antioxidant vitamins and minerals reduces the risk of progression to late AMD. Dietary data suggest the importance of the Mediterranean diet in reducing the risk of AMD, particularly fish consumption. The analyses of the genetic interaction with nutrition challenges the idea that you can eat away your geneti...

NEI AGI Seminar in Regenerative Medicine: Cellular Pliancy in Retinal Development and Disease
Dyer is chair of the Department of Developmental Neurobiology at St. Jude Children ’ s Research Hospital and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. He studies factors that influence and coordinate early cellular development. Specifically, he investigates how cells in the developing light-sensing retina proliferate and organize into cellular subtypes. His objective is to understand the causes of eye cancers such as retinoblastoma and degenerative eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration. Dyer will discuss how stress and injury affect the eye ’ s susceptibility to cancer and degeneration. The NEI AG...

Production, characterization, and application of stem cell-derived photoreceptors
NEI AGI Seminar in Neuroregenerative Medicine 3-D organoids are the next big thing in disease modeling, drug screening, and tissue sourcing for transplantation. These miniature organs can be grown from patient-derived stem cells, providing a theoretically unlimited supply. David Gamm, M.D., Ph.D., will summarize efforts to develop retinal organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye that sends visual signals to the brain. The most common blinding conditions in the U.S. affect the retina, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy,...

Immunology of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Symposium
The symposium will delve into some of the recent findings on the role that the immune system plays in AMD. Topics to be discussed include: •The need for better animal models in studying the immunology of AMD •Immunology of aging in humans •New epidemiologic findings on AMD and their implications for other eye disorders •Future plans for the prevention of AMD For more information go to http://www.nei.nih.gov/news/special/symposium_amd.aspAir date: 3/6/2014 8:25:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
