Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived from Patients with CEP290-associated Ciliopathies and Unaffected Family Members
Abstract: Approximately one-third of non-syndromic retinal dystrophies involve a defect in a ciliary protein. Non-syndromic retinal ciliopathies include retinitis pigmentosa, cone dystrophy, cone-rod dystrophy, macular dystrophy, and Leber-congenital amaurosis (LCA). Many CEP290-LCA patients also exhibit auditory and olfactory defects. Induced pluripotent...

Application for retraining and evaluating a patient's damaged visual system (either cortical or subcortical)
Background There are 4.5 million stroke victims in the United States, with 750,000 new cases each year. Among them, 15‑20% have serious vision loss. However, currently, each of the patients is sent home with essentially no treatment options to restore or improve their loss of sight. Technology Overview Researchers at the University of Rochester have...

3D Face Authentication and Recognition Based on Bilateral Symmetry Analysis
Automatic face authorization has long been an active research area for its wide potential applications, such as law enforcement, security access, and man-machine interaction. Among various approaches, Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to face imaging is now a cornerstone in face recognition. However, 2-D face recognition methods are in general unable...

Novel Intra-Ocular Pressure Regulating Device
Applications:The current invention proposes a novel intra-ocular pressure regulating device to aid in current glaucoma research and to treat human eye conditions such as hypotony (low eye pressure) which when chronic, can lead to debilitating loss of vision. This is based on a novel eye pressure regulated animal model of reversible elevated eye pressure...
