Emmecell

Challenge

Currently, the only way to restore sight to patients with advanced cases of corneal edema due to endothelial cell dysfunction is by cornea transplant. Emmecell’s minimally invasive cell therapy injects healthy corneal endothelial cells obtained from donor corneas into the eye to repopulate the patient’s diseased cornea with functioning endothelial cells, potentially eliminating the need for transplantation.

Idea

One donor cornea can restore vision to one recipient eye through transplantation. However, corneal endothelial cells from a single donor tissue could be amplified using Emmecell’s technology to restore vision for hundreds of patients via injectable cell therapy.

To date, cell therapies that replace or enhance damaged tissue often have been limited by the inability to localize treatment to the site of injury or disease. Using a proprietary Magnetic Cell Delivery (MCD) nanoparticle platform, Emmecell solves the therapeutic challenges of delivery, retention and integration of healthy donor cells.

Goal

Eversight is partnering with Emmecell because alternative cell therapies made possible by their technology have the potential to transform more lives in developing countries without the need for local eye banking infrastructure or imported donor tissue.

Phoenix Nest

Challenge

Research on the retinal manifestations of Sanfilippo syndrome—also called mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IIIC disorder—aims to help physicians better diagnose children who are in early stages of the disease, before behavioral and physical symptoms manifest. This terminal disorder is caused by a single genetic defect that leads to the progressive degeneration of the central nervous system. 
 

Idea

Eversight is partnering with Phoenix Nest to better understand how MPS IIIC manifests in the retina, the nerve layer lining the back of the eye that senses light and sends electrical impulses through the optic nerve to the brain that enables sight. 
 

Goal

Findings aim to help bring researchers one step closer to better understanding the physiological mechanisms of MPS IIIC and, one day, find a treatment or cure.

HYGELIX

Challenge

Transplants can restore sight to millions globally, but the procedure can be difficult to perform due to lack of training and the nature of the donor tissue needed. This results in surgeon reluctance to perform the procedure, despite the significant benefits of this technique, including faster recovery times, shorter procedures and better patient outcomes.
  

Idea

To address the global need for corneas, Eversight is working with partners in Australia to develop a product called HYGELIX, an ultrathin hydrogel scaffold that attaches to donor corneal tissue. HYGELIX supports and protects the donor tissue, minimizes tissue scrolling and makes the positioning of the tissue during surgery easier. 
 

Goal

If successful, HYGELIX could:  

  • Increase the uptake and accessibility of EK transplant surgery. 
  • Improve patient visual outcomes and prevent donor rejection and regraft. 
  • Increase global access to corneal tissue and reduce tissue waste. 
  • Reduce avoidable corneal blindness and increase access to surgical services. 
  • Assist in the development of a bioengineered cornea.
