Abstract:
Stem cell therapy is widely considered as a therapeutic approach for retinal degeneration. Retinal injury results in permanent visual disturbance or blindness. Repair of such damage by stem cells is one of the most feasible types of central nervous system repair. In this review, we consider how stem cells might be optimized for use as donor cells. We discuss the benefits of stem cells for transplantation in retinal degenerative disease. A wide range of stem cells from different sources is being investigated for the treatment of retinal degeneration. This study reviews the recent and old achievements about stem cells for retinal repair.

Photoreceptors
The retina is composed of several layers and contains specialized cells called photoreceptors. The photoreceptors (rods and cones) change their membrane potential when stimulated by light energy. There are two types of photoreceptors—rods and cones—which differ in the shape of their outer...
