Robust induction of retinal pigment epithelium cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells by inhibiting FGF/MAPK signaling

Functional decline and loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cause retinal diseases. Clinical studies using human embryonic stem cell (hESC)- or induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived RPE cells have shown the safety and potential efficacy of hESC/iPSC-RPE cell transplantation. However,...
