iPSC-Based Cell Therapy: An Important Step Forward

Morizane et al. (2013) show that donor-matched differentiated derivatives of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) do not cause an immune response after transplantation, whereas transplantation of HLA-mismatched iPSC derivatives to the same site clearly does. The importance of these results is discussed in this commentary as we assess how best to move forward with iPSC-based cell therapy.

An Important Step Forward in Myopia Prevention: Low-Dose Atropine.

The article by Chia et al (see www.aaojournal.org/article/ S0161-6420(15)00675-2/fulltext) in this issue of Ophthalmology reports 5-year follow-up from the Atropine for the Treatment of Myopia (ATOM) 2 study. ATOM2 now covers a 2-year initial phase using 0.5%, 0.1%, and 0.01% atropine, a 1-year washout period, and a further 2 years of treatment with 0.01% atropine in those who progressed more t...

Preconditioning stem cells for cardiovascular disease: an important step forward.

The promise of stem cell therapies to regenerate new myocardium and/or to enhance intrinsic repair processes has generated enthusiasm in the scientific and clinical communities, as well as among the public and its state and national representatives. This enthusiasm is based primarily on the limited inherent cardiac regeneration capability, the increased worldwide incidence of cardiovascular dis...
