Genetically Engineered Retina for Improved Retinal Reconstruction after Transplantation

ES/iPS-retinal sheet transplantation, which supplies photoreceptors as well as other retinal cells, has been shown able to restore visual function in mice with end-stage retinal degeneration. Here, by introducing a novel type of genetically engineered ES/iPS-retinal sheet with reduced numbers of secondary retinal neurons but intact photoreceptor cell layer structure, we reinforced the evidence that ES/iPS-retinal sheet transplantation can...
