Proliferative diabetic retinopathy with lymphocyte-rich epiretinal membrane associated with poor visual prognosis.

abstract：Purpose:Corneal endothelial cells (CECs) are critical in maintaining clarity of the cornea. This study was initiated to develop peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)-originated, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived CECs. Methods:We isolated PBMCs and programmed the mononuclear cells to generate iPSCs, which...
