Scientists Successfully Apply Gene Therapy against Retinitis Pigmentosa

November 3, 2015 //  by stanselb

A collaboration between scientists in the UK and the USA has shown that gene therapy can give life-long protection to the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells responsible for colour vision in a mouse model of the most common inherited eye disorder.

  These findings are significant because they open up a new line of research to prevent nerve cell death in retinitis pigmentosa and age-related …

Gene Therapy Staves Off Blindness from Retinitis Pigmentosa in Canine Model

October 16, 2015 //  by stanselb

Gene therapy preserved vision in a study involving dogs with naturally occurring, late-stage retinitis pigmentosa, according to research funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health. The findings contribute to the groundwork needed to move gene therapy forward into clinical trials for people with the blinding eye disorder, for which there is currently no …
