Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling early retinal development with human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells.

TL;DR: The ability of both human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to meet requirements for human retinogenesis are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optic Vesicle-like Structures Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Facilitate a Customized Approach to Retinal Disease Treatment

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that three‐dimensional populations of retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) can be isolated from early forebrain populations in both human embryonic stem cell and hiPSC cultures, providing a valuable tool for developmental, functional, and translational studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stabilization of Nrf2 by tBHQ confers protection against oxidative stress-induced cell death in human neural stem cells.

TL;DR: This study suggests that identified antioxidant genes, which were upregulated through tBHQ induced Nrf2 stabilization, confer protection on target cells against H2O2-induced apoptotic cell death in neuroblastoma cells as well as the necrotic cellDeath in the hNSC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood-derived human iPS cells generate optic vesicle-like structures with the capacity to form retinal laminae and develop synapses.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that human blood-derived iPSCs can generate retinal cell types, providing a highly convenient donor cell source for iPSC-based retinal studies and showing that cultured TiPSCs have the capacity to self-assemble into rudimentary neuroretinal structures and express markers indicative of chemical and electrical synapses.
