Single Intravitreal Injection of Etamsylate for the Treatment of Geographic Atrophy Associated with Submacular Hemorrhage

TL;DR: The efficacy of a single intravitreal injection of etamsylate, an anti-inflammatory drug, is shown in a patient with GA associated submacular hemorrhage in a patients with dry AMD.

Caffeic acid selectively eliminates teratogenic human-induced pluripotent stem cells via apoptotic cell death.

TL;DR: In this paper , the beneficial effects of Caffeic acid in iPSC-based cell therapy, such as the selective elimination of iPSCs and anti-teratoma effects, have not yet been explored.

The therapeutic potential of exogenous adult stem cells for the injured central nervous system

TL;DR: Clinical translation has thus far been impeded by only modest efficacy outcomes in clinical trials, speaking to a need for greater consistency and controls in such studies.

How the transplant landscape is changing in the regenerative medicine era

TL;DR: Regenerative medicine will enable organ-on-demand whereby patients will receive organs that will not be rejected and in a timely fashion, which will make registration in the waiting list and antirejection medications unnecessary and, as the new organs will be implanted immediately after fabrication, ischemia-reperfusion injury secondary to organ preservation will not been a problem anymore.

Upcoming Therapies for Age-related Macular Degeneration.

TL;DR: Age-related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss, affecting ~6.5% of the United States population, or over 7 million people, and is the third leading cause of global blindness after cataracts and glaucoma.

Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts

TL;DR: Human blastocyst-derived, pluripotent cell lines are described that have normal karyotypes, express high levels of telomerase activity, and express cell surface markers that characterize primate embryonic stem cells but do not characterize other early lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Establishment in culture of pluripotential cells from mouse embryos

TL;DR: The establishment in tissue culture of pluripotent cell lines which have been isolated directly from in vitro cultures of mouse blastocysts are reported, able to differentiate either in vitro or after innoculation into a mouse as a tumour in vivo.

The Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Visual Function

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge of RPE functions and describes how failure of these functions causes loss of visual function.
