AbstractPurpose of the study: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of genetic disorders and a slow loss of vision is caused due to a cascade of retinal degenerative events. We examined whether these retinal degenerative events were relieved after the mixtures of cultured adult olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) and olfactory nerve fibroblasts (ONFs) were transplanted into the subretinal space of one month old RCS rat, a classic model of RP.
