Animal models and different therapies for treatment of retinitis pigmentosa.

29 Sep 2009 Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of retinal degenerative diseases initially affecting the rod photoreceptor. Patients present with night blindness, loss of peripheral vision and finally the loss of central vision, as a consequence ... Read more...

Tissue targeted embryonic chimeras: zebrafish gastrula cell transplantation.

9 Sep 2009 Certain fundamental questions in the field of developmental biology can only be answered when cells are placed in novel environments or when small groups of cells in a larger context are altered. Watching how one cell interacts with and behaves in a ... Read more...

Potential application of adult stem cells in retinal repair--challenge for regenerative medicine.

30 Aug 2009 Stem cells (SCs) maintain the balance among somatic cell populations in various tissues and are responsible for organ regeneration. The remarkable progress of regenerative medicine in the last few years indicates promise for the use of SCs in ... Read more...
