Human central nervous system stem cell (HuCNS-SC) subretinal transplantation preserves photoreceptors in treated Royal College of Surgeons rats. (A) Representative images of a retina cross-section showing that, at post-natal day 150 (about 4.5 months post-transplantation), only scattered photoreceptors are evident in the outer nuclear layer (ONL) of untreated eyes (the white arrow points to the remnants of the ONL, just underneath the thick inner nuclear layer). (B) In contrast, HuCNS-SC transplanted eyes have well preserved ONL adjacent to the HuCNS-SC. Reddish-brown outlined white arrow indicates the extent of HuCNS-SC engraftment, highlighted by SC121 staining.
