Neural progenitor cells from postmortem adult human retina
22 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Given the presence of neural progenitor cells (NPC) in the retina of other species capable of differentiating into multiple neural components, the authors report the presence of NPC in the adult human retina. A resident population of NPC suggests that the retina may constitutively replace neurons, photoreceptors, and glia. METHODS: Adult human postmortem retinal explants and cell suspensions were used...
