Human umbilical tissue-derived cells rescue retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction in retinal degeneration
2 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells perform many functions crucial for retinal preservation and vision. RPE cell dysfunction results in various retinal degenerative diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Currently, there are no effective treatments for retinal degeneration except for a small percentage of individuals with exudative AMD. Cell therapies targeting RPE...
