Abstract excerpt
Disruption of the photoreceptor-retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) interface, with loss of photoreceptor outer segments (POSs) in the retina, is a pathological hallmark of several neurodegenerative and retinal diseases, including lysosomal storage disorders like juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN3) disease. However, in vitro stem cell models that enable investigation of the photoreceptor-RPE interface are...
