News Finding: Each participant in this round represents potential future strategic opportunities for the company as we move toward commercialization," said Steven Verdooner, NeuroVision CEO.
Paper Finding: For instance, plaques detected in age-related macular degeneration are locally restricted to retinal pigment epithelium within drusen and appear smaller in size .
News Context: "We're very pleased to announce this new round of financing and the confidence it represents from organizations dedicated to the development of innovative health care tools and solutions. Each participant in this round represents potential future strategic opportunities for the company as we move toward commercialization," said Steven Verdooner, NeuroVision CEO. "NeuroVision's groundbreaking technology provides for the important possibility of detecting neurodegenerative diseases earlier through the discovery of symptoms in the eyes," said Steve Baker, president of Eyefinity.
Paper Context: Moreover, based on their unique size, signature and distribution within the retinas, Aβ plaques observed in AD patients could be eventually used for differential diagnosis. For instance, plaques detected in age-related macular degeneration are locally restricted to retinal pigment epithelium within drusen and appear smaller in size . In glaucoma, NFL and GCL are altered, and increased intracellular expression of Aβ was found in RGCs in a rat model , but no Aβ plaques were detected in glaucoma patients or animal models.
