Abstract

We investigated a minimally invasive and effective method for cell transplantation into the subretinal space. A biodegradable nanosheet as cell scaffold was fabricated from polycaprolactone (PCL) and collagen as low inflammatory materials and had sufficient strength and flexibility. Cell/nanosheet constructs were prepared by culturing cells on the nanosheets in a monolayer and injected into the subretinal space through the sclera of rat with a syringe needle. The cell/nanosheet construct was successively delivered into the subretinal space. This method holds great promise for transplantation of monolayer cells and for the development of local cell delivery systems.
