Human induced pluripotent stem cell models for the study and treatment of mitochondrial optic neuropathies
Cardiff University Cardiff Centre for Vision Sciences
This project will generate human retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) for therapeutic testing. We will replace mouse tissue with human RGCs differentiated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from dominant optic atrophy caused by mutation in the OPA1 gene and from normal controls.
