Researchers from the @NIH may have discovered a cause of the dry form of age-related macular degeneration: It involves the process by which the eye's retina removes waste. Read more: nei.nih.gov/about/news-and… #NEIResearchNews


NIH researchers @Kapilbharti123 used patient #stem cells and 3D bioprinting to create eye tissue. Technique provides model for studying #AMD and other eye diseases. @IRPatNIH @ncats_nih_gov. See bit.ly/3BRruAv



Scientists use 3D bioprinting to grow cells, similar to those found in the body. The technology may be used to develop drug therapies and custom prosthetics. Our #ImageOfTheMonth shows a 3D bioprinted blood retina barrier tissue model.










#NEIfunded researchers @Kapilbharti123 and @DavideOrtolan91 developed a map of RPE cells -- identifying subpopulations with relevance to disease vulnerability. A big advance for gene and stem therapies for degenerative diseases. #regenerativemedicine bit.ly/3siV1ys
