Journal ArticleDOI

Directed Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Functional Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nicotinamide promotes the differentiation of hESCs to neural and subsequently to RPE fate and factors from the TGF-beta superfamily, which presumably pattern RPE development during embryogenesis, further direct RPE differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rescue of retinal degeneration by intravitreally injected adult bone marrow–derived lineage-negative hematopoietic stem cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that whenever a fraction of mouse or human adult bone marrow-derived stem cells (lineage-negative hematopoietic stem cells [Lin- HSCs] containing endothelial precursors stabilizes and rescues retinal blood vessels that would ordinarily completely degenerate, a dramatic neurotrophic rescue effect is also observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetically engineered large animal model for studying cone photoreceptor survival and degeneration in retinitis pigmentosa

TL;DR: These transgenic pigs that express a mutated rhodopsin gene will provide a large animal model for study of the protracted phase of cone degeneration found in RP and for preclinical treatment trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Myeloid progenitors differentiate into microglia and promote vascular repair in a model of ischemic retinopathy

TL;DR: Using a model of oxygen-induced retinopathy, it is demonstrated that a population of adult BM-derived myeloid progenitor cells migrated to avascular regions of the retina, differentiated into microglia, and facilitated normalization of the vasculature.
