Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells can Differentiate to a Retinal Pigment Epithelial Phenotype when Co-Cultured with Pig Retinal Pigment Epithelium using a Transwell System

Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells can Differentiate to a Retinal Pigment Epithelial Phenotype when Co-Cultured with Pig Retinal Pigment Epithelium using a Transwell System

Background: There is an increasing interest in generating retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells from stem cells for therapy against degenerative eye diseases. Human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) can be induced to express retinal neuron-specific markers when co-cultured with retinal neurons, ho...
