ROBERT LANZA: TREATMENT OF MACULAR DEGENERATION USING EMBRYONIC STEM CELL DERIVED RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM; PRELIMINARY RESULTS IN ASIAN PATIENTS

Introduction Since their discovery and isolation in 1998, human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have been considered a potentially valuable tool for generating replacement cells for therapeutic purposes (Lanza et al., 2009). However, despite success in numerous animal models, fears over tumorigenicity and immunogenicity, coupled with ethical concerns, and inefficiencies in differentiation methods have all contributed […]
