image: (A) Low and (B) high magnification photos of the bioengineered retinal implant. (C) A schematic of the material used as the basis for the implant. The membrane facilitates the diffusion of nutrients and growth factors, represented by the grey arrows. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 4 April, issue of Science Translational Medicine, published by AAAS. The paper, by A.H. Kashani at University of Southern California in Los Angeles, Calif., and colleagues was titled, "A bioengineered retinal pigment epithelial monolayer for advanced, dry age-related macular degeneration." view more
