Researchers are closer to better diagnosing and treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD) after discovering new genetic signatures of the disease by reprogramming stem cells to generate high-resolution disease models.
Tears shed today by patients frustrated by an inability to obtain a diagnosis could speed diagnoses for others in the future. Researchers at Wenzhou Medical University, China, have developed a new nano membrane system, dubbed I-Tears, that harvests and purifies tiny droplets called exosomes from tears, allowing rapid analysis for disease biomarkers.

Ophthalmic and microsurgery device maker Carl Zeiss Meditec AG is investing in regenerative medicine startup Precise Bio Ltd. to jointly develop 4D bio-fabricated corneal transplants for diseases that require endothelial keratoplasty and natural lenticule transplants. Under the terms of the agreement, Carl Zeiss Meditec will lead a series B financing round in Precise Bio and fund development of two cornea transplant products.
