Thank you @NEIDirector for sharing the news of our discovery! A new class of drugs 💊 with potential to treat our world’s leading causes of blindness 👁
This is only the beginning… exciting developments coming soon, follow me for updates! 🔔
Beautiful work led by Krzysztof Palczewski & Jennings Luu:
Pharmacological strategy to slow retinal degeneration in retinitis pigmentosa & AMD. @UCIrvine @illuuminator @UCIMedSchool @UciCtvr #NEIfunded
@PNASNews: bit.ly/3nPiI2t
ALT Caption: Molecular mechanisms of stress resilience-enhancing drug (SRED) therapy. Retinal degeneration involves a complex, multifactorial combination of genetic factors and environmental exposures that accumulate over a lifetime and eventually overwhelm intrinsic stress resilience mechanisms, which can be enhanced pharmacologically by SREDs to alleviate disease and preserve vision.

Thanks everybody for the kind support and strong reception last week in SF at #jpm2024 🙏 #ICYMI our presentation will be available on-demand via webcast at the #virtual #biotechshowcase event starting TOMORROW, January 16th to 17th! @illuuminator @EBDgroup @demycolton
Proud of my big bro @illuuminator 👏🏽
Tune in tomorrow to hear about his research and work towards new treatments for leading global causes of blindness and neurodegenerative diseases 🩺 👁️

Eye-Opening Drug Discovery May Help Treat Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Researchers discover new drugs to treat leading causes of blindness, AMD, DR and RP, with the potential to preserve tissue and function in the degenerating retina. These "Stress Resilience-Enhancing Drugs" (SREDs) could offer a promising new strategy for patients and clinicians.
