Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cellular therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) is emerging as an effective option to treat optic neuropathies. In models of retinal degeneration, MSC injected in the vitreous body protects injured retinal ganglion cells and stimulate their regeneration, however the mechanism is still unknown. Considering the immunomodulating proprieties of MSC and the controversial role of microglial contribution on...
