Scientists at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) have discovered how to “reprogram” immune cells to help the eye heal after traumatic injuries and diseases such as diabetic retinopathy.
Findings from research led by Abdel Fouda, PhD, an associate professor in the UAMS College of Medicine’s Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, were recently published in two peer-reviewed scientific journals: Cell Death & Disease and Cell Death Discovery, both of which are part of Nature, the leading international weekly journal of science.

Anthony Davis, MD, recently joined the team at Baptist Health Memory Clinic in North Little Rock. He specializes in behavioral neurology with a specific focus on memory and dementia evaluation and care.
