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
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.

A great piece by our friends at Michigan Medicine! We are grateful to have our first clinical trial in the skilled hands of Drs. Rajesh Rao of Kellogg Eye Center, David Liao of LA Retina and Theodore Leng of Stanford Medicine.

Adult stem cells show therapeutic promise in treating vision loss from macular degeneration
Researchers used retinal pigment epithelial stem cells derived from adult postmortem eye tissue in a phase 1/2a clinical trial. This is the first treatment to show promise for age-related macular degeneration or 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.
