An Efficient 2D Protocol for Differentiation of iPSCs into Mature Postmitotic Dopaminergic Neurons: Application for Modeling Parkinson’s Disease

TL;DR: In this paper , a 2D protocol for obtaining DAns from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) was described, which is rather simple, comparable in efficiency with previously published protocols, and does not require viral vectors.

Changes in best-corrected visual acuity in patients with dry age-related macular degeneration after stem cell transplantation: systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: In this article , a meta-analysis suggests that stem cell transplantation may improve best-corrected visual acuity in dry age-related macular degeneration, based on small sample sizes and fewer randomised controlled trials.

Применение плюрипотентных стволовых клеток в медицине

TL;DR: This review describes various types of hPSCs, safety issues that concern all or some types ofhPSCs and methods of clinical-grade hPSC line development, and discusses current and past clinical trials involving h PSCs, their outcomes and future perspectives of hPC-based therapy.

In vitro induction and intraocular application in oxygen-induced retinopathy of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells

TL;DR: In this article , human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) were injected into oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice to check the movement, fusion, proliferation, and prognosis in vivo.

Neural differentiation of human retinal pigment epithelial cells on alginate/gelatin substrate

TL;DR: In this paper , alginate/gelatin (A/G) was used as a substrate for the growth of human retinal pigment epithelial (hRPE) cells toward a retinal neural lineage.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
