Retinal Transplant

Stem cell treatment of Retinal transplant

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a layer of pigmented cells sandwiched between the visual retinal cells, called photoreceptors, and the nourishing blood vessels at the back of the eye. The RPE provides essential support to the retinal photoreceptors and is critical for normal vision. Deterioration of the RPE plays a central role in the progression of diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and sub-types of retinitis pigmentosa. These conditions are associated with a progressive loss of vision that often leads to blindness.

Stem Cell Treatment for Eye Disorders

BioXcellerator has the ability to derive RPE-like cells from ES cell, which are identified by their characteristic black pigment, exhibited multiple biological properties and genetic markers that define authentic RPE cells. Further, the cells successfully delayed deterioration of retinal structure and function when they were transplanted into the eye. BioXcellerator is developing the technology to treat blindness related to retinal degeneration.
