Description:
Pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal tissues exhibit morphological resemblance and significant functional parallels to in vivo retinal structures, presenting a promising in vitro platform. Nevertheless, a notable disparity persists between the current maturity of this platform and its potential therapeutic applications. This course will comprehensively introduce various types of pluripotent stem cell-derived tissues and update the audience with the recent advances. It will also provide examples of how to apply pluripotent stem cell-based platforms to evaluate therapies. Finally, a panel discussion will provide an opportunity for networking and in-depth discussion between speakers and audience to address specific projects.
