Combined transplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells and human retinal progenitor cells into the subretinal space of RCS rats

Abstract Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is one of hereditary retinal diseases characterized by the loss of photoreceptors. Cell transplantation has been clinically applied to treat RP patients. Human retinal progenitor cells (HRPCs) and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs) are the tw...
