Retinal Cell Rescue: Stem Cells, Remodelling, Neuroprotection, =
Apoptosis, and Replacement of Retinal Neurons

=20

Details of the poster program for 'Retinal Cell Rescue' - the Sixth =
Annual Vision Research Conference - are now available via the conference =
website at http://www.visres-interactivemeeting.com/posters.htm

=20

The conference takes place May 3-4, 2002 in Fort Lauderdale, USA prior =
to the 2002 ARVO Annual Meeting and will provide an overview of the =
different types of rescue from a basic as well as a clinical =
perspective. Particular emphasis will be given to the mechanisms of =
rescue of neuronal function in the retina and to the strategies of =
cellular replacement, beginning with the molecular basis of cell =
differentiation to the potential for clinical application in =
degenerative eye diseases and physical implants.

=20

Session topics are as follows: Gene based therapies; Retinal remodelling =
in disease; Retinal regeneration; Photoreceptor cell rescue by survival =
factors; Progenitor cells and differentiation; Anti-apoptotic =
strategies; Cell replacement and prosthesis; Stem cell transplantation.

You can find full details of the invited oral program and information on =
how to register and book accommodation at =
