Abstract
A method for in vitro obtaining human retinal progenitors, includes the steps of (i) placing an adherent culture of human pluripotent stem cells in a pro-neural medium; and (ii) maintaining this culture in the pro-neural medium until the appearance of pigmented cells and/or of neuroepithelial-like structures. Additional steps can be performed to obtain RPE cells and/or precursors of the neural retina.
