Nowadays, treatments for retinal degenerative diseases mainly stay in supportive treatments such as improve circulation, nourishing nerve in the clinical. It still lacks effective treatment. As bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)have high expansion potential and autologous immunological characteristics,people have tried various ways of isolation, induction, transplantation and so on,with a purpose to transform BMSCs to retinal nerve cells,and ultimately make cell-replaced therapy available. We reviewed the current literature for trials and case reports on retina transplantation of BMSCs, to provide help for the further research.
