Retinal organoids (ROs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) serve as relevant models for studying retinal disease pathogenesis, as well as furthering gene therapy efforts. These complex, three-dimensional (3D), multicellular structures recapitulate the development and functionality of the maturing human retina. Here, we describe an in-depth method for the generation of ROs from hiPSCs and evaluate the morphology of these multilayered structures.

摘要

Retinal organoids (ROs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) serve as relevant models for studying retinal disease pathogenesis, as well as furthering gene therapy efforts. These complex, three-dimensional (3D), multicellular structures recapitulate the development and functionality of the maturing human retina. Here, we describe an in-depth method for the generation of ROs from hiPSCs and evaluate the morphology of these multilayered structures.
