Striatech News

Join us at the 2024 ARVO Meeting in Seattle, WA from May 5 to 9! Come experience our state-of-the-art OptoDrum, Photorefractor, and Keratometer firsthand. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore our innovative vision research tools in action and join one of our special events. See you there!

This article is an in-depth investigation of molecular alterations underlying chiasmatic misrouting in the albino binocular circuit. During development, in a specialized retinal niche—the ciliary margin—fewer cells express the cellcycle regulator CyclinD2. Consequently, the cell cycle is elongated, resulting in fewer ipsilaterally projecting RGCs and perturbed binocular vision.

Striatech is excited to announce our partnership with Phoenix-Micron, Inc., making them our exclusive sales representative for the USA and Canada. This collaboration enhances accessibility to our expanding product portfolio, particularly benefiting the North American scientific community. We’re committed to supporting your scientific pursuits and welcome inquiries about our products and discussions on your research needs.

This Journal Club demonstrates the effectiveness of an AAV-based gene therapy in rescuing vision and restoring normal retinal responses in a mouse model of KCNV2 retinopathy, a genetic form of irreversible blindness caused by mutations in the Kv8.2 subunit of voltage-gated potassium channels. Efficacy tests were carried out with Striatech’s OptoDrum and ScotopicKit, among others.

This year, Striatech is once again donating to the PRO RETINA Foundation to support their great work for retinal researchers and affected individuals.

Meet Striatech at the 2023 SfN Neuroscience meeting in Washington, D.C., November 11-15. Stop by our booth #1339 and see our OptoDrum, Photorefractor and Keratometer devices in action!

This Journal Club will demonstrate the usefulness and feasibility of refractive error measurements in mice, and it will discuss how measurements with Striatech’s automated Photorefractor can elucidate mechanisms of refractive development.

Meet us at the 2023 Euretina Congress in Amsterdam and see our OptoDrum, Photorefractor and Keratometer in action! October 5 – 8

Striatech celebrates its 5th anniversary with a top-class Symposium on the topic of translating visual restoration from mouse to human. Presentations will be given by Professor Eberhart Zrenner (University of Tübingen), Professor Constance Cepko (Harvard Medical School) and Miikka Terho (Pioneer Retina Implant Patient, Finland). In addition, the speakers will highlight important aspects and directions in this area of research in a moderated panel discussion.

Li and Jacobs show that Vitamin C, administered through drinking water protects retinal ganglion cells during glaucoma and after optic nerve crush. The elucidate the pathway of Vitamin C action which involves reactive astrocytes. The positive effect of Vitamin C can be seen not only in histological examinations, but is also manifested in preserved visual acuity, as measured with Striatech’s OptoDrum.

This Journal Club provides insights into mechanisms that promote retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon regeneration in vertebrates after optic nerve injury.
