ILM photodisruption: a biophotonic approach to promote retinal ganglion cell engraftment as a cure for blindness Ghent University
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Its primary hallmark is the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) which inevitably results in vision loss. A revolutionary cure could be the replacement of lost neurons by transplantation of stem-cell derived RGCs. Surely, earlier studies prove that RGC replacement is a feasible and promising concept. A primary obstacle, however, is the poor migration of the ...
