Led by Rajesh Rao, M.D., at the University of Michigan Health Kellogg Eye Center, this firstâinâhuman study uses an innovative approach: injecting RPE cells grown from adult stem cells directly into the area of the eye most affected by disease.
Early results are offering new hope for patients with dry AMDâand redefining what may be possible in regenerative eye care.

Using cutting-edge tools like dCas13b-FTO guided RNA engineering, single nucleotide resolution mapping of RNA modifications, and transcriptome-wide RNA-protein binding, targeted protein degradation (degron), we made seminal observations in stem cell and retinal biology. Our research uncovers a novel interaction between METTL3 and RNA target Ythdf1, and shows how chromatin accessibility can be uncoupled from transcriptional dynamics in retinal organoids during acute degradation of METTL3.
Stay tuned for the publication on October 23 in Stem Cell Reports. Meanwhile, you can explore our #preprint on bioRxiv:
Grateful for our awesome team: Jing Xu, Yuanhao Huang, Qiang Li, Ricky Han, Jie Liu, Charukesi from,,
We found that a group with 20/200 to 20/800 vision achieved a 22-letter improvement and with 20/70 to 20/200 - a 4 letter gain. While this trial is ongoing and not powered for efficacy, we are hopeful these results point us in a promising direction.
We thank the patients who participated in this trial and the wonderful clinic and OR teams Michigan Medicine. It has been such a wonderful partnership with the Luxa and NEI and DSMB teams to help lead the way to potential new cell therapies for AMD.
If you are a patient, eye care provider with dry AMD, please reach out to us:
