OCAT Restores Your Vision, By Restoring Your Retina,
More properly, restoring your Pigment Epithelium, the single cell thick bottom layer of your retina, containing the nurse cells that maintain the ten cell thick retina.
"There are literally dozens of retinal degenerative diseases and these diseases are usually caused by the loss of the RPE cells." -Dr. Robert Lanza
This is a revolutional medical product, that will be discussed for a thousand years, in medical schools and business courses. It changes medicine, forever.
Slide 16, Dr. Anglade: "The retina is basically a 10 cell layer thick tissue. The very bottom is a single cell layer called the pigment epithelium. And that's the tissue we're transplanting."
And what this means: What we did is transplant the cells into patients who have a disease where those particular cells are dying; And we replaced those dying tissues with new tissue that's derived from these stem cells. In a way it's a retinal transplant. - Dr Steven Schwartz, UCLA
Roadshow 1.0
We can, in the laboratory, take the stem cells and turn them into essentially brand new, young, juvenile retinal pigment epithelium and give somebody a fresh layer of these cells that could take them, if they have macular degeneration and say they're 40, 50, 70 years old, for the duration. (for the duration means for the rest of their life)
