Scientists discuss in 'Transplantation of reprogrammed embryonic stem cells improves visual function in a mouse model for retinitis pigmentosa' new findings in stem cell research. According to a study from the United States, "To study whether C57BL/6J-Tyr/J (C2J) mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells can differentiate into retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro and then restore retinal function in a model for retinitis pigmentosa: Rpe65/Rpe65 C57BL6 mice. Yellow fluorescent protein (YFP)-labeled C2J ES cells were induced to differentiate into RPE-like structures on PA6 feeders."
"RPE-specific markers are expressed from differentiated cells in vitro. After...
