TREATMENT OF RETINAL DEGENERATION USING PROGENITOR CELLS

摘要

Methods and compositions for treating and reducing retinal degeneration using progenitor cells and conditioned media from progenitor cells, such as postpartum-derived cells are disclosed. Trophic factors and other agents secreted by the progenitor cells that protect retinal cells and inhibit apoptosis of retinal cells such as photoreceptor cells are also disclosed.
