[Transplantation of the retina--the near or distant future?].
In the review the results of the recently published experimental papers concerning transplantations of embryonic retina, retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors are discussed. The results of these studies indicate that in humans transplantation of the whole retina is the matter of the distant future but in the near future one can expect transplantation of the isolated retinal layers namely pigment epithelium and photoreceptors.
