In this article, we show that mouse embryonic stem cell- or induced pluripotent stem cell-derived 3D retinal tissue developed a structured outer nuclear layer (ONL) with complete inner and outer segments even in an advanced retinal degeneration model (rd1) that lacked ONL. We also observed host-graft synaptic connections by immunohistochemistry. This study provides a "proof of concept" for retinal sheet transplantation therapy for advanced retinal degenerative diseases.
在本文中,我们展示了源自小鼠胚胎干细胞或诱导多能干细胞的 3D 视网膜组织在缺乏外核层(ONL)的晚期视网膜变性模型(rd1)中也能形成具有完整内、外节的结构化外核层(ONL)。我们还通过免疫组织化学观察到了宿主-移植物的突触连接。这项研究为晚期视网膜退行性疾病的视网膜片移植治疗提供了“概念验证”。
