THE PRINCIPAL MISSION OF THE REGENERATIVE RESEARCH FOUNDATION IS TO DEVELOP REGENERATIVE STEM CELL THERAPIES FOR DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS): THE BRAIN, SPINAL CORD, AND RETINA.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
FISCAL YEAR 2022 SAW THE REGENERATIVE RESEARCH FOUNDATION'S OPERATIONS RETURN TO A MORE NORMAL LEVEL OF ACTIVITY. THE LABORATORIES WERE FULLY STAFFED, AND THE FOUNDATION RENEWED ITS COMMITMENT TO PURSUING ITS MISSION TO DEVELOP POTENTIAL THERAPIES FOR TREATMENT FOR DISEASES OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. FOUNDATION RESEARCHERS PUBLISHED A TOTAL OF SEVEN ARTICLES REPORTING THE RESULTS OF THEIR INVESTIGATIONS IN SEVERAL PROMINENT SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. THE TOPICS INCLUDED NEURODEGENERATIVE, EYE AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. THESE ARTICLES ARE MADE AVAILABLE FREELY TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC THROUGH THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH PUB-MED CENTRAL PUBLICATION RETRIEVAL SYSTEM. INVESTIGATORS AT THE FOUNDATION WERE ABLE TO SECURE 10 NEW RESEARCH GRANTS TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND THE STEM CELL RESEARCH PROGRAMS.
THE FOUNDATION INITIATED ITS PLANNED CLINICAL TRIAL DURING FISCAL YEAR 2022 AFTER SURMOUNTING NUMEROUS OBSTACLES INCLUDING THE PANDEMIC AND RETINAL STEM CELL PRODUCT MANUFACTURING DELAYS. THREE STUDY SUBJECTS RECEIVED THE RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM STEM CELL REPLACEMENT THERAPY DEVELOPED BY THE FOUNDATION. THE RESULTS OF THIS THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION FOR THE TREATMENT OF AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION ARE PROMISING. THE FOUNDATION HOPES TO EXPAND THESE CLINICAL STUDIES WITH ITS BIOTECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP AND MAKE THE THERAPY READILY AVAILABLE TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM AMD.
THE ALZHEIMER'S AND RELATED DEMENTIA RESEARCH PROGRAM CONTINUED ITS INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE CAUSES AND TREATMENT OF THESE DISEASES. THE FOUNDATION ALSO EXPANDED ITS DEMENTIA PROGRAM BY ESTABLISHING SEVERAL COLLABORATIVE ARRANGEMENTS INCLUDING A PROJECT INVOLVING FIVE COLLABORATIVE LABORATORIES AT DIFFERENT ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS. SUPPORT FOR THESE ENDEAVORS WAS PROVIDED BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH AND VARIOUS PUBLIC CHARITIES. IN ADDITION, THE FOUNDATION ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH A BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY TO RESEARCH A POTENTIAL NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE TREATMENT.
