Intravitreal Injections of Neurotrophic Factors Secreting Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Neuroprotective in Rat Eyes following Optic Nerve Transection

Abstract

Bone marrow-derived MSCs can deliver NTFs by intravitreal injection and can be neuroprotective after ONT. This approach might be further studied to deliver NTFs by autotransplantation in glaucomatous eyes.
