Acquired Genetic and Epigenetic Variation in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells.

TL;DR: Adjusting protocols by which hPSCs are derived and cultured is an evolving process that is important in minimising acquired genomic variation, as techniques to detect genome-wide variation improve.

Restoring Vision Using Stem Cells and Transplantation.

TL;DR: This review provides an update on the recent progress made toward the restoration of vision lost to degenerative disease using stem cell-based transplantation strategies and the challenges that need to be overcome.

Recent Innovations in Medical and Surgical Retina.

TL;DR: Prophylaxis against AMD progression with Age-Related Eye Disease Study-2 supplements seems to reduce the risk of developing neovascular but not atrophic complications of AMD, and enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography data provide new information on the role of the choroid in a variety of conditions.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Treatment of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases

TL;DR: The technologies discussed in the review emphasize in vitro therapeutic neural cell and organoid development for disease treatment, pathological modeling of neurodegenerative diseases, and 3D bioprinting as it applies to both.

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.
