DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF VISION MULTIPLEXING DEVICES FOR VISION IMPAIRMENTS [PDF]

International Journal on Artificial Intelligence Tools, 2009
We have proposed a novel concept of vision multiplexing for the visually impaired – superimposing contour images over their natural view of a scene or over original images presented on a TV screen. We have implemented the concept using an optical see-through head mounted display to provide either visual field expansion to patients with peripheral ...

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

MicroRNA-21-5p from induced pluripotent stem cells promotes neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cells in optic nerve crush model

BMC Ophthalmology
Introduction Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are susceptible to degenerative conditions such as glaucoma and traumatic optic neuropathies, which lead to vision loss.

Generation of an integration-free induced pluripotent stem cell line (FDEENTi003-A) from a patient with pathological myopia

Stem Cell Research, 2019
Pathological myopia (PM) is a major cause of irreversible vision impairment worldwide. We have successfully reprogrammed the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a PM patient to induced pluripotent stem cells and characterized their ...

Retinal ganglion cells induce stem cell-derived neuroprotection via IL-12 to SCGF-β crosstalk

Stem Cell Research & Therapy
Background Stem cell-derived secreted factors could protect neurons in neurodegenerative disease or after injury. The exact neuroprotective components in the secretome remain challenging to discover.

Baseline Regional Cholinergic Denervation Predicts Cognitive Trajectories in Moderate Parkinson Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive decline is a disabling and variable feature of Parkinson disease (PD). While cholinergic system degeneration is linked to cognitive impairments in PD, most prior research reported cross‐sectional associations. We aimed to fill this gap by investigating whether baseline regional cerebral vesicular acetylcholine transporter ...

Why are sport and physical activity important for people with vision impairment? [PDF]

, 2013
Access to physical education and sport is usually limited for young people with vision impairment. This means that pupils with vision impairment miss activities undertaken by their peers.
