Research

Autologous TGFB1 Modified CD34+ Stem Cels for Repair of Diabetic Macular Edema and Macular Ischemia. The Retinal Vascular Center, Houston, Texas.

  • Phase I: in vivo studies to evaluate pharmacokinetics of control or TGF?1-PMOs when delivered intravitreal or intravenously.
  • Phase II: in vivo studies to proof that diabetic CD34+ cells treated with TGF?1-PMO are safe and produce no significant adverse effects in vivo as well as showing efficacious in the repair of retinal vascular endothelium.

Targeting Mas Receptor for Diabetic Vascular Disease in Older Adults. The Retinal Vascular Center, Houston, Texas, 2022.

  • Testing the hypothesis of MasR activation is a promising approach for prevention of the development of vascular disease in older adults with diabetes.
  • Targeting ACE2/Angiotensin-(1-7) Mas axis to enhance vasoreparative function of endothelial progenitor cells in diabetes. The Retinal Vascular Center, Houston, Texas, 2017.
