Transplanted erythropoietin-expressing mesenchymal stem cells promote pro-survival gene expression and protect photoreceptors from sodium iodate-induced cytotoxicity in a retinal degeneration model
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are highly regarded as a potential treatment for retinal degenerative disorders like retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. However, donor cell heterogeneity and inconsistent protocols for transplantation have led to varied outcomes in clinical trials...
