SUBSTANTIALLY PURE HUMAN RETINAL PROGENITOR, FOREBRAIN PROGENITOR, AND RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM CELL CULTURES AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Methods for producing substantially pure cultures of human neural retinal progenitor cells, forebrain progenitor cells, and retinal pigment epithelial cells are disclosed. In addition, the successful differentiation of human embryonic stem cells and human induced pluripotent stem cells through the major developmental stages of human retinogenesis is disclosed.
