Research lines CeO2 Nanoparticles-assisted stem-based cell therapy: an innovative nanopharmaceutical approach to treat retinal degenerative diseases Chronic inflammation is now regarded as a major pathogenic pathway common in many different pathologies. This is the case of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a disease currently inevitable, orphan of treatment that represents a major cause of blindness in people over 50, and affects millions of people worldwide. The progression of AMD is associated to an increase of oxidative stress and inflammatory response in the eye leading to retinal cell death. Current studies suggest that antioxidant therapies for chronic inflammation treatment are a feasible objective to stop disease progression and represent a promising strategy to improve the therapeutic benefits of regenerative medicine to restore vision (since inflammation impedes proper regeneration). CeO2nanoparticles have a unique electronic structure that when reduced to the nanoscale, oxygen defects appear at their surface, behaving as sites for free radical scavenging. Thus, the main objective of CELLUX is to develop a novel pharmaceutical-based CeO2 nanoparticles eye drops to treat AMD that in combination with stem cell-based therapeutic strategies, will not only stop degeneration but restore vision. The accomplishment of the objectives will represent a significant advance in the current concept of nanomedicine to treat degenerative diseases.
