Human-induced pluripotent stem cells-derived retinal pigmented epithelium, a new horizon for cells-based therapies for age-related macular degeneration

Samaneh Dehghan et al.

Summary: This study discusses age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the current treatment options for wet and dry AMD. Stem cell therapy has shown great potential in the treatment of AMD. Human pluripotent stem cells, especially induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), can be used to generate retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, restoring the structure and function of the retina.

Proteins Associated with Phagocytosis Alteration in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells Derived from Age-Related Macular Degeneration Patients

Audrey Voisin et al.

Summary: This study found that retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells from patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) exhibit altered phagocytic activity. The researchers also identified genes related to the mTOR/PI3K-AKT/MEK-ERK pathway that are involved in phagocytosis. These findings indicate a typical disease phenotype in RPE cells from AMD patients.

Transplantation of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium in a Swine Model of Geographic Atrophy

Anna Duarri et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the feasibility and safety of subretinal transplantation of hiPSC-RPE cells into healthy margins and degenerative areas in a swine model. The engrafted cells formed mature epithelium in healthy retina and interacted with host photoreceptors, but showed irregular distribution and failure to form epithelial-like layer in degenerative areas.

Trends of Stem Cell Therapies in Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Tadao Maeda et al.

Summary: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a prevalent irreversible impairment in the elderly population, and stem cell therapies are being considered as a potentially viable treatment option. Clinical studies and applications focusing on pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells are progressing, while controversy surrounds the use of somatic stem cells in clinical trials. The field of retinal regenerative medicine using stem cells is expected to advance steadily with the incorporation of new technologies from various fields, emphasizing the importance of ophthalmologists in this area.

Functions and Diseases of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium

Song Yang et al.

Summary: The retinal pigment epithelium is crucial for visual functions, but damage to its structure and function can lead to various retinopathies with no cure currently available. Understanding the development, function, and pathobiology of the retinal pigment epithelium is essential for preventing and treating retinopathies. This review discusses potential strategies for treatment and provides new perspectives for future research in this field.
