It also supports our belief that in the future, one might be able to use this approach for replacement of cells lost or malfunctioning due to other more common diseases of the retina,» said lead study author cell biologist Jason Meyer, Ph.D., assistant professor of biology in the School of Science at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis.

The authors note that the formation of each different organ bud type may require some fine tuning to optimize tissue self - organization, and further addition of neural cell types may be necessary, but this research may soon provide exciting model systems for the study of basic biology and pathology as well as providing appropriate replacement tissues for the treatment of many patients with no other viable options.

One of the striking differences in outcome between our studies and work on oligodendrocyte and oligodendrocyte - precursor replacement lies in the finding that differentiation of precursor cells into a specific astrocyte subtype prior to transplantation provides a much greater level of benefit than transplantation of the precursor cells themselves.

The new iPS cells generated using novel methods may represent biomedically - and clinically - ideal cells, providing potential platforms for studying human disease mechanisms and achieving the long - term goal of personalized cell - replacement therapy.
