Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of stem cell regeneration biology, in particular to a method for regenerating retinal-like organs from pluripotent stem cells and obtaining retinal seed cells. Background technique
[0002] Degenerative retinal disease is a major eye disease leading to irreversible blindness, mainly due to irreversible damage to photoreceptor cells, RPE cells or ganglion cells. However, there is currently no effective treatment for this disease. Stem cell therapy has brought new hope for vision recovery for this type of disease. Obtaining seed cells with similar characteristics to human retinal cells is the key to vision recovery treatment and disease mechanism research for retinal degenerative diseases.
[0003] In the past, human retinal cells were mostly isolated from aborted embryonic retinas, but the quantity was very limited, and the batch quality was difficult to control, which could not meet the needs of clinical treatment, ...
