  • Description: A frequent cause of vision impairment and blindness associated with inherited retinal diseases and age related macular degeneration, which causes blurred or an absence of vision in the center of the visual field, is due to degeneration of retinal pigmented epithelium and photoreceptors, Replacement with stem cell derived equivalents is an excellent approach to try and preserve the retinal structures, function and vision. The Cone-Rod Homeobox gene is a key transcription factor involved in r...
  • Production details: Differentiation to 3D ocular-like structures which contain a retinal pigment epithelium, neural retina, primitive lens and corneal like structures is achieved by culture in low attachment plates with ventral neural induction media supplemented with recombinant human IGF-1 (5ng/ml) for 37 days, then in basal knockout serum free media with 10ng/ml IGF-1 until day 90
