Grant Activity:
Stimulating Biomimetic Neuroplasticity to Develop New Cell Therapy for Blindness.
Purpose:
The loss of light-sensing photoreceptors is a leading cause of blindness. Severe cases have no treatments, and we thus aim to develop effective cell therapy by transplantation of photoreceptors to restore vision. We can generate millions of these cells from stem cell generated mini-retinas (organoids), but transplantation outcomes are still ineffective. Here we will test whether electrical stimulation improves photoreceptor transplantation in animal models to rescue sight and treat blindness.
