Organotypic Cultures of Adult Mouse Retina: Morphologic Changes and Gene Expression

The purpose of this study was characterization of adult murine neuroretina in organ culture to investigate its suitability for use in preclinical therapeutic applications. In retinal disorders, neurodegeneration of mature retinal cells takes place. Therefore, neonatal retina cultures are not adequate for therapeutic applications, such as genome editing, as the retina is still developing with cells dividing and differentiating into highly...
