Importantly, the preservation of light - induced c - Fos expression was restricted to the dorsal retina, surrounding the region of iPS -
RPE cell injection only, suggesting preservation of localised neural activation corresponding to the histology of rhodopsin expression.
The preservation of these layers 13 weeks after iPS -
RPE cell injection suggests that the transplantation of these cells preserves retinal structure.
