🚨New #preprint alerte💡 For the first time, we show reprogramming of human Muller glia in 3D, using a novel glia/progenitor driver of proneural genes. This approach could accelerate human retina regeneration in the *near* future! 👀‼️ Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Such a fun story! Check out the new paper from the amazing @KiaraCEldred1
Check out our paper! We identify a population of retinal progenitors that are maintained late in human retinal development, and give rise to both first- and last-born cell types in the retina, condensing 100 days of retinal development into a small region at the retinal margin!
