Stem-cell based retinal implant: Can a retinal implant reverse macular degeneration? #AMD

Can a retinal implant reverse macular degeneration?
LOS ANGELES — Age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss and blindness for Americans 65 and older, is a progressive disease affecting central vision. Over time, faces, book pages and anything directly in front of a person become obscured by blurry, dark or blind spots.Now, a novel clinical trial offers hope for patients...

Advances in the treatment of blinding retinal diseases - International Ophthalmology
Blinding retinal diseases, including inherited and degenerative conditions, rank globally among the primary causes of permanent vision loss. While certain degenerative retinal diseases like age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy can be partially managed through intravitreal anti-VEGF injections or the use of complement inhibitors, most patients still lack effective treatment options. Recently, several promising therapeutic avenues have surfaced, such as stem cell-derived reti…

The MIRI Excesses around Degenerates (MEAD) Survey I: A candidate cold brown dwarf in orbit around the nearby white dwarf 2MASS J09424023-4637176
The MIRI Excesses Around Degenerates Survey is a Cycle 2 James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Survey program designed to image nearby white dwarfs in the mid-IR with the MIRI imaging mode. Only a handful of white dwarfs have previously been observed beyond 8~\micron. This survey gathered observations for 56 white dwarfs within 25~pc at 10 and 15~\micron, probing each white dwarf for unresolved IR excesses, IR flux deficits indicative of collision induced absorption, or resolved substellar companio…

sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she
