Photoreceptor Cells
Specialized eye cells in the retina called photoreceptors are responsible for vision. There are two types of photoreceptor cells – rods and cones – that convert light into neural impulses to generate images.
Rods detect dim light and are used for night vision, while cones detect color and are responsible for fine vision.
Retinal diseases, like RP and Dry AMD, lead to the degeneration of these photoreceptors and cause irreversible vision loss, including blindness.

Transforming Ordinary Cells with Advanced Technology
Our proprietary technology transforms ordinary skin cells, called fibroblasts, using a cocktail of small molecules, into chemically-induced photoreceptor-like cells (CiPCs). Then, these CiPCs are introduced into the subretinal space of the eye with the goal of restoring vision.

Pre-clinical studies in rodents have demonstrated partial restoration of the pupil reflex and visual function.
