Scientists use mice in promising glaucoma gene therapy study

Scientists use mice in promising glaucoma gene therapy study Published:  Research on gene therapy for glaucoma shows promise MIAMI, Fla. – Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, resulting from irreversible loss of function of the optic nerve. A recent study, supported by the National Eye Institute, found a form of gene therapy which could protect and preserve optic nerve cells in studies using mice. “It’s an impressive finding. It’s in a high profile journal, however, these are studies in mice,” said Dr. Richard Lee with Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. “And we’re a little larger than mice in general so it has yet to be translated into clinical studies in humans. It is a good proof of principal especially since the vectors they used to give these genes into the cells are similar to the ones that we use currently in gene therapy studies,” Lee said.

Flu vaccine may provide vital protection against COVID-19, study shows

Flu vaccine may provide vital protection against COVID-19, study shows In a newly published study, physician-scientists at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have shown that the flu vaccine may provide vital protection against COVID-19. The study, titled Examining the potential benefits of the influenza vaccine against SARS-CoV-2: A retrospective cohort analysis of 74,754 patients, was published in the peer-reviewed scientific journal PLoS One on August 3. This was the largest study of its kind and analyzed deidentified patient records from around the world, which strongly suggested that the annual flu shot reduces the risks of stroke, sepsis, and DVT in patients with COVID-19. Patients with COVID-19 who had been vaccinated against the flu were also significantly less likely to visit the emergency department and be admitted to the intensive care unit.
