  2. 16. Scalable, safe and GMP-compatible production of embryonic stem cell derived retinal pigment epithelial cells

    Author : Sara Padrell Sánchez; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Regenerative medicine is an exponentially growing field that aims to regenerate a lost function, cell type or tissue due to damage, ageing or disease. Currently, more than 30,000 gene- and cell-based therapies have been or are being tested in clinical trials. READ MORE

  4. 17. Aspects of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Healthy Eyes and Eyes with Retinal Diseases

    Author : Urban Eriksson; Eva Docent; Albert Professor Emeritus; Per Professor; Michael Larsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik; Ophtalmology; Oftalmiatrik;

    Abstract : Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a technique in which cross-sectional images from intraocular tissue can be obtained. The quantitative and qualitative examinations are used for evaluating retinal diseases. READ MORE

  5. 18. Matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in ocular neovascularization

    Author : Björn Steén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Angiogenesis; Neovascularization; Retina; Bruch membrane; Cornea; MMP; TIMP; VEGF; In situ hybridization.;

    Abstract : Growth of pathological new vessels (angiogenesis) in the eye is a leading cause of severe vision-loss. Ocular angiogenesis is seen in the anterior part of the eye as in corneal neovascularization, or in the posterior part as in diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity or age-related macular degeneration.
