Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line, BRCi004-A, derived from a patient with age-related macular degeneration

Summary

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a late-onset progressive blinding disease. We established human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from an AMD patient. The generated iPSC line showed pluripotency markers and three-germ layer differentiation ability in vitro. This iPSC line will be useful for elucidating the pathomechanisms of and drug discovery for AMD. Copyright © 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
