RRF/Neural Stem Cell Institute is the first independent, non-profit stem cell research institute in the U.S. NSCI is dedicated to developing therapies for conditions of the nervous system, including #neurodegeneration, #spinalcordinjury and #maculardegeneration. Twitter @NeuralStemCells
Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Stem cell research is opening new doors for treating age-related #MacularDegeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss.

Join our co-founders, Drs. Jeffrey Stern and Sally Temple on @BrightFocus Foundation's Macular Chat on Wed, Oct 29. They'll break down the science, share clinical trial updates, and explain what these advances mean for people living with AMD.

Science fun on this beautiful Friday in Albany! The Capital District Postdoc Association held their annual symposium at the University at Albany. NSCI was well represented by CDPA president Sol Toruella, presenters Runia Roy & Catherine Hamann, and new postdocs Jenica Acheta & Alexis Guevara!

Our #NEIfunded study led by Farhad Farjood, Nathan Boles & Jeffrey Stern reveals heterogeneity of retinal pigment epithelium cells in the human eye using #scRNA-seq & proteomics. We describe unique spatial patterns that suggest functional differences for RPE subpopulations in the eye.

- with S. Nandakumar, T. Bertucci, T. Kiehl, S. Lotz, Yue Wang, J. Black, S. Sai, J. Kozak, B. Arduini and S. Temple

This work was supported by the NIH & Luxa Biotech.

What a week! Many thanks to the #ARVO2025 organizers for a terrific meeting! We loved spending time with great colleagues, catching up with old friends and hearing about so much inspiring #VisionResearch 👀 in beautiful #SaltLakeCity.

That's a wrap! Sally Temple, Taylor Bertucci and Kate Tubbesing all spoke at the annual #NIHfunded Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project #FunctionalGenomics meeting at the @Gladstone Institutes.
