There are over 8 million blind patients in China, 1/3 of them are suffered from retinal degeneration diseases. Stem cells transplantation can delay the photoreceptor cell degeneration or replace the dead photoreceptor cells, provides hopes for these patients. How to make enough seed cells is the major barrier for cell therapy. Good seed cells should be safe and with great pluripotency, and can be made from a wide range of sources, easy to be standardized and industrialized. Seed cells made from three-dimensional embryonic stem cells cultures can reach the above criteria, thus three-dimensional embryonic stem cell culture is a new strategy for making seed cells for cell treatment of blind diseases.
