Elsewhere, Kapil Bharti, PhD, Senior Investigator and Head of the Ocular and Stem Cell Translational Research Section at the National Eye Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, explains testing the safety of a stem cell therapy for age-related macular degeneration in this special focus on eye health.

Also, Greg Rosenthal, Communications Specialist at the United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, details how the organisation safeguards America’s crops and forests, including comment on PPQ’s Safeguarding Continuum.
