Analysis of the results of transplantation of the retinal pigment epithelium in the experiment

TL;DR: In this article , the results of cell transplantation in the form of a cell suspension into the subretinal space at various times were analyzed and it was found that the injected cells retained their viability for up to 8 months.

Automatic Pretreatment for In-Situ Cryopreservation of Single Stem Cells Based on Microfluidic Droplet Manipulatio

TL;DR: In this paper, an automatic cryopreservation pretreatment method using planar microfluidic chips with super-hydrophobic surfaces was proposed to reduce the risks of cell damage, contamination, loss and osmotic shock caused by manual operations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Future perspective of stem cell-derived exosomes: Cell-free therapeutic strategies for retinal degeneration

TL;DR: In this paper , a review depicts the molecular mechanisms underlying exosome-based therapy, especially in retina degeneration diseases, and the use of stem cell-derived exosomes could be considered a novel and cell-free therapeutic strategy in regenerative medicine.

Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine: Clinical Trials

TL;DR: Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are considered a potential source of stem cells, due to ethical concerns, there is not much progress in using ESCs in clinical conditions as mentioned in this paper.

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.

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.
