Biodegradable polymer composite grafts promote survival/differentiation of retinal SCs
Published in Blood Weekly, February 9th, 2006
According to recently published research from the United States, "Retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) are multipotent central nervous system precursors that give rise to all of the cell types of the retina during development.
"Several groups have reported that mammalian RPCs can be isolated and expanded in culture and can differentiate into retinal neurons upon grafting to the mature, diseased eye. However, cell delivery and survival remain formidable obstacles to application of RPCs in a clinical setting."
"Because biodegradable...
