Application of stem cell transplantation in repair of the retinal ganglion cells injury
The progressive injury of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)is a common occurrence in several eye diseases, which ultimately may lead to irreversible blindness. Currently, there are still no effective or ideal treatments for it in practice, however some recent studies show that stem cell transplantation m...

| Summary: | The progressive injury of retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)is a common occurrence in several eye diseases, which ultimately may lead to irreversible blindness. Currently, there are still no effective or ideal treatments for it in practice, however some recent studies show that stem cell transplantation may provide a promising new idea for neuroprotection and replacement of retinal ganglion cells. This paper will review the research progress of stem cell transplantation-based treatment. |
