Abstract
Retinal neuron degeneration results in irreversible loss of vision. Neuroprotective strategies are effective for the early stage of degeneration, but cannot prevent the cell death in advanced stage. Stem cell transplantation into injured retina has potential to restore the vision and provide treatment of advanced stages of retinal degeneration.1,2 Embryonic stem (ES) cells have been identified as a viable source of retinal progenitors. The embryonic retinal stem cells/progenitors are however, not available in sufficient quantity for clinical application. These cells also possess limited self-renewal besides ethical issues because of their embryonic/ fetal origin. doi : 10.5214/ans.0972.7531.1118207
