Functional and molecular characterization of rod-like cells from retinal stem cells derived from the adult ciliary epithelium.

In vitro generation of photoreceptors from stem cells is of great interest for the development of regenerative medicine approaches for patients affected by retinal degeneration and for high throughput drug screens for these diseases. In this study, we show unprecedented high percentages of rod-fated...
