Culture surface protein coatings affect the barrier properties and calcium signalling of hESC-RPE

Abstract Human pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) transplantation is currently under evaluation as treatment for macular degeneration. For therapeutic applications, cryostorage during cell production is typically needed with potential consequences to cell functionality. W...
