In several ocular diseases, degeneration of retinal neurons can lead to permanent blindness. Transplantation of stem cell (SC)-derived RGCs has been proposed as a potential therapy for RGC loss. Although there are reports of successful cases of SC-derived RGC transplantation, achieving long-distance regeneration and functional connectivity remains a challenge. To address these hurdles, retinal organoids are being used to study the regulatory mechanism of stem cell transplantation. Here we present a modified protocol for differentiating human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into retinal organoids and transplanting organoid-derived RGCs into the murine eyes.

摘要

In several ocular diseases, degeneration of retinal neurons can lead to permanent blindness. Transplantation of stem cell (SC)-derived RGCs has been proposed as a potential therapy for RGC loss. Although there are reports of successful cases of SC-derived RGC transplantation, achieving long-distance regeneration and functional connectivity remains a challenge. To address these hurdles, retinal organoids are being used to study the regulatory mechanism of stem cell transplantation. Here we present a modified protocol for differentiating human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) into retinal organoids and transplanting organoid-derived RGCs into the murine eyes.
