Abstract:Superior colliculus (SC) is the target of retinal neurons, allowing them to form connections. Cultured stem cells/progenitors can potentially be used as donor tissue to reconstruct degenerated retina including perhaps replacing lost ganglion cells in glaucoma. In which case, it will be essential for these cells to integrate with the central nervous system targets. Here, we have investigated if the mid-brain region containing superior colliculus (SC) provides a permissive environment for the survival and differ… Show more
