Establishment of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (CSUASOi008-A) from a type 2 diabetic patient with retinopathy
Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common and severe microvascular complications of diabetes, and the leading cause of preventable blindness in working-aged people. Here, we generated an induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell line using blood-derived cells from a patient with DR. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were reprogrammed with Sendai virus.
