Abstract (original English)
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness. Stem cell therapy has shown promise in the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma in animal models. Stem cell-free therapy using stem cell-derived trophic factors might be in demand in patients with high-risk conditions or religious restrictions. In this chapter, we describe methods for trabecular meshwork stem cell (TMSC) cultivation, secretome harvesting, and protein isolation, as well as assays to ensure the health of TMSC post-secretome harvesting and for secretome periocular injection into mice for therapeutic purposes.
