Neuroprotection in the Retina: From Preventing Inflammatory Cell Death to Promoting Vascular Stability in the Central Nervous System

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Glaucoma is defined clinically as the presence of optic nerve head (ONH) degeneration and progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Intra-ocular pressure (IOP) has been con ...

Molecular profiling of stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cell differentiation established for clinical translation

Gioele La Manno, Alex Russell Lederer, Irina Khven

Human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial cells (hESC-RPE) are a promising cell source to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Despite several ongoing clinical studies, a detailed mapping of transient cellular states during in v ...

Preservation of visual function in an animal model of retinal degeneration using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing

Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni, Tommaso Marchetti

Aims: Inherited Retinal Disorders represent a difficult target for gene therapy. This study exploits the possibility of using CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing in photoreceptor progenitors to prevent cell death. We performed all the experiments on Rd10 mice, ...

Characterization of a Polymer-Based, Fully Organic Prosthesis for Implantation into the Subretinal Space of the Rat

Diego Ghezzi

Replacement strategies arise as promising approaches in case of inherited retinal dystrophies leading to blindness. A fully organic retinal prosthesis made of conjugated polymers layered onto a silk fibroin substrate is engineered. First, the biophysical a ...

Long-term in vivo impedance changes of subretinal microelectrodes implanted in dystrophic P23H rats

Philippe Renaud, Olof Pontus Linderholm

Retinal prostheses are being developed to restore vision in blind patients with photoreceptor degeneration. Electrodes arrays were subretinally implanted in transgenic P23H rats with their photoreceptors degenerated. Electrical stability of the implants wa ...

Angiogenesis inhibition for the improvement of photodynamic therapy: The revival of a promising idea

Hubert van den Bergh, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive form of treatment, which is clinically approved for the treatment of angiogenic disorders, including certain forms of cancer and neovascular eye diseases. Although the concept of PDT has existed for a long ...

Anti-angiogenic treatment for exudative age-related macular degeneration: new strategies are underway

Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

Exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in elderly people in the western world. Recent developments in the field yielded vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) targeted strategies that caused a revolution in th ...

Analysis of Factors Affecting the Performance of Retinal Prostheses Using Finite Element Modelling of Electric Field Distribution in the Retina

Sri Harsha Kasi Raj

This dissertation proposes a computational framework targeted at improving the design of currently employed retinal prostheses. The framework was used for analysing factors impacting the performance of prostheses in terms of electrical stimulation for reti ...

Combination Therapy Using Verteporfin and Ranibizumab; Optimizing the Timing in the CAM Model

Hubert van den Bergh, Elodie Debefve

Combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) using verteporfin (Visudyne(R)) with ranibizumab (Lucentis(R)) can optimize the overall treatment outcome by providing more efficacy in vessel closure, and thus reduce the need for retreatment in patients with wet age-r ...
