New study: mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism improves corneal integrity in a rat model of limbal stem cell deficiency

New study: mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism improves corneal integrity in a rat model of limbal stem cell deficiency

In this new study, our team at INSERM, explored whether mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs)—commonly used for heart and kidney conditions—could aid corneal repair in limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD), a rare and difficult-to-treat eye disease.

New study: the role of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Apoptotic Bodies in immune regulation

New study: the role of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and Apoptotic Bodies in immune regulation

Research has shown that MSC-derived ApoBDs can help regulate the immune system, however they have not been studied as much as smaller extracellular vesicles. To fill in the gap, our team at Galway conducted a study to explore the therapeutic potential of large and small ApoBDs.
