    Inventor: Daniel PELAEZ
  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC OPTIC NEUROPATHY
    Publication number: 20210330735
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel methods for treating or preventing traumatic optic neuropathy (TON), methods for improving visual function in a subject having TON, methods for promoting retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival or increasing neurite outgrowth of an RGC, and methods for reducing the risk of having or developing TON in a subject that has experienced a traumatic injury. The methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of an aromatic-cationic peptide.

  • Isolation And Use Of Pluripotent Stem Cell Population From Adult Neural Crest-Derived Tissues
    Publication number: 20190010455
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of isolating a substantially homogenous population of pluripotent stem cells from adult neural crest tissue (e.g., periodontal ligament) as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising such isolated pluripotent stem cells. Methods of inducing the isolated pluripotent stem cells into specific cell lineages, such as neurogenic and retinogenic lineages, are also described. The isolated pluripotent stem cells find use in various regenerative medicine applications and the treatment of degenerative diseases.
