Methods and Advances in Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells – Ophthalmology

This Research Topic aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions relating to the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in ophthalmological research, from retinoblastoma pathophysiology to ocular organoids and macular regeneration. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each, as well as recent advances in the field, are encouraged.

We welcome contributions covering all aspects of induced pluripotent stems cells and their use in ophthalmological research. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each, as well as recent advances in the field, are welcome. The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. For Methods papers, novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident.

We welcome contributions covering all aspects of iPSCs and their applications in ophthalmological research including:

• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
• Original Research presenting new findings in the use of iPSCs in ophthalmological research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews on recent advances.
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
• Technology and Code articles providing novel insights or approaches.
• Perspectives and Opinions on methods, protocols and advances relevant for iPSC research.
