MRCRM seminar series - August 2022

PI Cecilie Bredrup will give a talk about her TMF funded project "Mesenchymal stem cells transplantation in wound healing".
In her talk,  she will discuss cell based therapies for limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD).
Title: Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in limbal stem cell deficiency - Development of precision medicine

Abstract: Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) causes discomfort and reduced vision and is a major problem in ophthalmology. Today, the treatment is transplantation of allogenic limbal stem cells, but this has its limitations. 
Mesenchymal stem cells are now emerging as a promising treatment option. The phase 1 clinical trial using these cells in patients with end-stage LSCD will be presented.
