New study: Enhancing Immune Modulation with “trained” MSC-EVs

New study: Enhancing Immune Modulation with “trained” MSC-EVs

In this study, the Restore Vision team at Galway explored whether EVs from MSCs that were specially “trained” using two immune-related proteins  – TGF-β1 and IFN-γ –  could more effectively regulate the immune system than EVs from untrained cells. 

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.

Healing the cornea: the therapeutic potential of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and their Extracellular Vesicles

Healing the cornea: the therapeutic potential of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells and their Extracellular Vesicles

In this new article, our team at the University of Galway reviewed and analysed current research on the use of MSCs and MSC-EVs in treating corneal diseases.

New article: Are inactive ingredients in eye drops safe? A closer look at excipients safety, function an regulation.

New article: Are inactive ingredients in eye drops safe? A closer look at excipients safety, function an regulation.

Restore Vision has conducted the first comprehensive review of FDA-approved excipients in ophthalmic medications, examining their roles, safety, and the regulatory pathways required for approval for human use.
