Researchers at the National Eye Institute (NEI) have generated Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS) from two Late-Onset Reginal (L-ORD) patients with a dominant mutation in CTRP5 protein and two of their unaffected siblings. All iPS cells were differentiated into authenticated Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) cells. The NEI seeks licensing and/or co-development research collaborations for Metformin as an FDA-approved drug to treat Age-related Retinal Degeneration.
The National Eye Institute (NEI) seeks research co-development partners and/or licensees for gene therapy for CRX retinopathies such as Leber congenital amaurosis, retinitis pigmentosa, and cone-rod dystrophy.
