Development of a new tissue injector for subretinal transplantation of human embryonic stem cell derived retinal pigmented epithelium

摘要

Background Subretinal cell transplantation is a challenging surgical maneuver. This paper describes the preliminary findings of a new tissue injector for subretinal implantation of an ultrathin non-absorbable substrate seeded with human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium (hESC-RPE).
