Development of gene and stem cell therapy for ocular neurodegeneration

Development of gene and stem cell therapy for ocular neurodegeneration

Retinal degenerative diseases pose a serious threat to eye health, but there is currently no effective treatment available. Recent years have witnessed rapid development of several cutting-edge technologies, such as gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and tissue engineering. Due to the special features...
