Late stage blindness and visual impairment (BVl) affects over 400 million adults worldwide.These disabilities severely impact the ability of adults to function independently,reduce their quality of life,and worsen socio-economic burdens on health care systems.Importantly,the World Health Organization projects worldwide BVI from degenerated retina to more than double by the year 2050 (Bourne et al.,2021).

Retinal degenerative diseases affecting the outer retina in its many forms (inherited,acquired or induced) are characterized by photoreceptor loss,and represent currently a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in the world.At present,there are very f
Transplantation of neuronal precursors derived from human pluripotent stem cells is a promising therapy for the treatment of neurological disorders associated with neuronal loss,such us neurodegenerative diseases,brain trauma and stroke.The functional int
Background:Failure of axon regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI) underlies the paralysis that so profoundly affects patients\' quality of life.Many factors are involved in the regeneration failure.Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs),normal c
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) consists of the rupture of a cerebral artery leading to bleeding into the surrounding parenchyma.This event has a primary phase of brain injury consisting of mechanical tissue damage due to the mass effect,followed by a seco
The human body is populated by a large number of microbial colonies,with an estimated 10-100 trillion microbes.The total genome size of human microbial colonies by far overwhelms the size of the host\'s genome.This heterogenous group of microbial coloni
The association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an increased risk of neurodegeneration has been recognized for some decades now (Faden and Loane,2015),with recent evidence suggesting that a history of TBI,either as repeated concussive/mild TBI in
Introduction:In the 1680s,Antonie van Leewenhoek was the first to observe the differences in the human gut microbiome versus the oral cavity diversity,and it led to the birth of a new term,“microbiota”.
In a symbiotic and mutualistic manner,the gut microbiota strongly influences many vital aspects of host physiology,biology,repair,and regeneration.The role of microbiota in many areas of regenerative medicine is just beginning to emerge,but it is under-re
Alzheimer\'s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by an age-dependent progressive decline of memory,impairment of cognitive functions and changes in personality and behavior.Despite the improvement in understanding of the me
Childhood maltreatment (CM) has been consistently linked with numerous detrimental outcomes concerning physical and psychological health.However,few studies have explored vulnerability to neurological disorders after CM.Early life adversity,in the form of
