One-Year Survival of Transplanted Cells Marks Progress in Early Retinal Regeneration Studies
Researchers have recently presented promising clinical data at the International Society for Stem Cell Research demonstrating that transplanted human neural progenitor cells survived for at least one year in participants with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP).
Atsena Therapeutics present positive clinical data for XLRS gene therapy program
Promising early clinical trial results suggest that ATSN-201, an investigational gene therapy for X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), could offer a potential new treatment approach for this rate inherited retinal condition.
Funding paves the way for achromatopsia
A research project funded by Retina UK helped pave the way to a new gene therapy that has recently produced encouraging results in two young people with achromatopsia, a condition that causes complete colour-blindness and poor overall vision from birth.
Living outside of the UK?
At Retina UK we get many queries from those overseas affected by inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs). Understandably, many want to know about research and how they can get involved. Retina UK does not organise trials or directly recruit participants.
The molecular map of congenital stationary night blindness – the science of seeing in the dark
A recently published study has provided the first molecular map of the mutation-specific changes that occur in the retina which lead to Congenital Stationary Night Blindness.
Non-coding, but not non-important: the hidden genes behind retinitis pigmentosa
A new study by researchers from Radboud University Medical Centre and the University of Basel has uncovered new genetic causes of Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) that were once overlooked.
