Retinal degenerative disease has limited therapeutic options and the possibility of stem cell-mediated regenerative treatments is being actively explored for these blinding retinal conditions. The relative accessibility of this central nervous system tissue and the ability to visually monitor changes after transplantation make the retina and adjacent retinal pigment epithelium prime targets for pioneering stem cell therapeutics. Prior work conducted for several decades indicated the promise of c ...[more]
