Glucocorticoid agonists enhance retinal stem cell self-renewal and proliferation

Abstract Background Adult mammalian retinal stem cells (RSCs) readily proliferate, self-renew, and generate progeny that differentiate into all retinal cell types in vitro. RSC-derived progeny can be induced to differentiate into photoreceptors, making them a potential source for retinal cell transp...
