New transplant technique restores vision in mice

Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan have shown that retinal transplants derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can restore visual function in mice. Published in Stem Cell Reports, the study shows that neurons in the implanted retinal sheets integrate well with the host, respond to light, and send their signals to the brain as judged by behavioral experiments.
