The etiology of retinal degeneration(RD)involves the progressive and eventual death of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelial(RPE)cells.Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)possess great plasticity and are able to differentiate into a variety of cell types.This study aimed to establish the method for differentiation of MSCs into RPE cells,and to clarify the functions and mechanisms of MSC treatment of RD diseases.
