A novel xeno-free culture system for human retinal pigment epithelium cells.

TL;DR: This study indicates that culturing fRPE cells in 10% human AB serum-supplemented medium is more favorable compared with KSR, B27 and traditional FBS-supplementsed mediums when fR PE cells are to be applied in cell-based therapy.

Consideration of Biological Sex in Translating Regenerative Stem Cell Therapies

TL;DR: Future stem cell strategies should be based on research that has considered sex as a biological variable throughout the biomedical development spectrum to maximize positive outcomes and avoid gender bias.

Mitochondria and stem cell function: from somatic cells to iPSC-based disease modeling

TL;DR: Las celulas CD34+ de cordon umbilical con mas masa mitocondrial muestran mayor capacidad clonogenica in vitro, lo that sugiere that estan enriquecidas en progenitores hematopoyeticos.

The New Biomedicine: A Critical Appraisal

TL;DR: The acquisition of basic scientific knowledge by scientists working in genetics, embryology, developmental biology, immunology and virology throughout the twentieth century led to its application to clinical problems in the twenty-first.

Induction of Pluripotent Stem Cells from Adult Human Fibroblasts by Defined Factors

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that iPS cells can be generated from adult human fibroblasts with the same four factors: Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embryonic Stem Cell Lines Derived from Human Blastocysts

TL;DR: Human blastocyst-derived, pluripotent cell lines are described that have normal karyotypes, express high levels of telomerase activity, and express cell surface markers that characterize primate embryonic stem cells but do not characterize other early lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Establishment in culture of pluripotential cells from mouse embryos

TL;DR: The establishment in tissue culture of pluripotent cell lines which have been isolated directly from in vitro cultures of mouse blastocysts are reported, able to differentiate either in vitro or after innoculation into a mouse as a tumour in vivo.

The Retinal Pigment Epithelium in Visual Function

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge of RPE functions and describes how failure of these functions causes loss of visual function.
