Evaluating the outcomes of pluripotent stem‐cell‐derived photoreceptor transplantation in retinal repair

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Transplantation of stem cell‐derived photoreceptors in retinal repair. We summarize methods for differentiating stem cells and describe surgical techniques for transplanting photoreceptor precursors to restore visual function (A). The effectiveness of these techniques is assessed with behavioral (B) and in vitro assays (C) using mouse models that mimic
