A method of qualifying whether a cell population is a suitable therapeutic for treating an eye condition is disclosed. The method comprises analyzing co-expression of premelanosome protein (PMEL17) and at least one polypeptide selected from the group consisting of cellular retinaldehyde binding protein (CRALBP), lecithin retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) and sex determining region Y-box 9 (SOX 9) in the population of cells.

Disclosed herein is an amyloid β accumulation and/or aggregation inhibitor. A technique for inhibiting amyloid β accumulation and/or aggregation by concurrently introducing Nurr1 and Foxa2 genes and introducing the co-expression of the genes is also provided. When used, the composition can be applied to the prevention or treatment of a neurodegenerative disease caused by amyloid β accumulation and/or aggregation, such as Alzheimer's disease.

Disclosed herein are neural extracellular vesicles (EVs) and methods of using these EVs in the treatment of spinal cord injury, stroke, and traumatic brain injury and neurodegenerative disease.

Presented herein are compositions and methods for generating stem cell derived retinal tissue and isolated retinal progenitor cells for use in the treatment of retinal degenerative diseases and disorders.

The present invention provides a method of purifying highly pure retinal pigment epithelial cells from a cell population obtained by induction of differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into retinal pigment epithelial cells, by a simple and easy operation in a short period. The purification method of the present invention includes a step of introducing a cell population containing retinal pigment epithelial cells obtained by differentiation induction of pluripotent stem cells on laminin or a fragment thereof on a filter, and obtaining a cell population that passed the filter.
