Once-daily CsA-MiDROPS™ are superior to other CsA drops dosed twice-daily

Ophthalmic distribution studies indicate significantly increased drug concentration with CsA-MiDROPS (Cyclosporine A microemulsion) compared with Restasis. CsA-MiDROPS is well tolerated with little toxicity in a 2-week tolerability study. In the DED model, both 0.05% and 0.1% CsA-MiDROPS conferred a significant effect and were more effective than Restasis for treating experimental DED when dosed twice per…

EyeCRO and MPI Research Partner to Develop New Preclinical Models of Ophthalmic Disease

Oklahoma City, OK; Ann Arbor, MI; and Mattawan, MI (PRWEB) May 01, 2017 eyecro and MPI Research, two global leaders in preclinical ophthalmology contract research, today announced a collaboration to develop and commercialize large mammalian preclinical models for various ophthalmic diseases, including Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy. The partnership leverages the unique skills and…

Inhibition of Stat3 by a Small Molecule Inhibitor Slows Vision Loss in a Rat Model of Diabetic Retinopathy

“Diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of vision loss. Previous studies have shown signaling pathways mediated by Stat3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) play a primary role in diabetic retinopathy progression. This study tested CLT-005, a small molecule inhibitor of Stat3, for its dose-dependent therapeutic effects on vision loss in a rat model…

Serum retinol-binding protein-induced endothelial inflammation is mediated through the activation of toll-like receptor 4

“Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a novel adipokine (adipose-derived cytokine) that is clinically associated with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and cardiovascular disease. In addition, patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR) have increased serum RBP4 levels compared to diabetic patients with mild or no retinopathy, which raises the possibility that RBP4 is somehow…

New Skin Patch Monitors Glucose and Delivers Diabetes Drugs

People with diabetes need to closely monitor their blood glucose levels multiple times every day, usually using a device that pricks their finger for a blood test to assess whether they need insulin shots or other drugs. Since blood collection and shots can be painful, not all patients do it as regularly as they need…

Research points towards new blindness prevention methods in diabetic eye disease

By combining data on optometry patient’s eyes with advanced computational methods, Indiana University researchers have created a virtual tissue model of diabetes in the eye. The results, reported in the journal PLOS Computational Biology, show precisely how a small protein that can both damage or grow blood vessels in the eye causes vision loss and…

Detecting diabetic eye disease with machine learning

Diabetic retinopathy — an eye condition that affects people with diabetes — is the fastest growing cause of blindness, with nearly 415 million diabetic patients at risk worldwide. The disease can be treated if detected early, but if not, it can lead to irreversible blindness.  A few years ago, a Google research team began studying…
