Using Stem Cells to Repair the Degenerate Retina

摘要: It is conceivable that in the future, stem cells will be used treatment of retinal degenerative conditions. They could transplanted to replace photoreceptor victims degeneration or function as vehicles for provision survival regenerative factors. Their full potential will, most likely, only realized with thorough investigations both embryonic and adult cells. Studies into use degenerations have primarily involved neural A few laboratories, including our own, investigated allografts from more distant sites like bone marrow retina. Still other groups application degenerations. In this mini-review we compare versus retina summarize recent using repair degenerating Due space limitations, are unable cite all relevant papers so chosen focus on key articles made significant contributions field.
