Assessment of Safety and Functional Efficacy of Stem Cell-Based Therapeutic Approaches Using Retinal Degenerative Animal Models by Tai-Chi Lin, Magdalene J. Seiler, Danhong Zhu, Paulo Falabella, David R. Hinton, Dennis O. Clegg, Mark S. Humayun, Biju B. Thomas

“…It is considered an “immune privileged” site, and the number of cells needed for therapy is relatively low for the area of focused vision (macula). Further, surgical placement of stem cell-derived grafts (RPE, retinal progenitors, and photoreceptor precursors) into the vitreous cavity or subretinal space has been well established. …”

Switchable Camouflage via Reflective Display by Shuang Yuan, Jiayu Zhou, Qixing Meng, Rui Zhang, Yufei Gao, Minghou Liu, Hong Ye, Linshuang Long

“…Subsequently, the spectral characteristics of the color filter and black‐and‐white EPD are optimized by using genetic algorithm to reduce the average color difference between the display and the switchable target color, which can be reduced as low as 0.18. To visually demonstrate the color reproduction capability of the dual‐subpixel EPD, sample applications including the switchable vegetation and digital camouflages are designed and have a high degree of agreement with the background. …”

Putting a Kink in HIV-1 Particle Infectivity: Rocaglamide Inhibits HIV-1 Replication by Altering Gag-Genomic RNA Interaction by Paul Rosenfeld, Gatikrushna Singh, Amanda Paz Herrera, Juan Ji, Bradley Seufzer, Xiao Heng, Kathleen Boris-Lawrie, Alan Cochrane

“…Our examination of RNA helicases for effects on HIV-1 protein production and particle assembly identified Rocaglamide (RocA), a known modulator of eIF4A1 function, as an inhibitor of HIV-1 replication in primary CD4⁺ T cells and three cell systems. HIV-1 attenuation by low-nM RocA doses was associated with reduced viral particle formation without a marked decrease in Gag production. …”
