Deskripsi

Summary: Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be differentiated into well-structured retinal organoids. In this protocol, we successfully established 3D retinae from patient-derived hiPSCs and built the retinitis pigmentosa model in vitro. Moreover, mutation in the retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR) gene was corrected by CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, which rescued the structure and function of the 3D retinae.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Deng et al. (2018).
