Investigation of the functional impact of CHED- and FECD4-associated SLC4A11 mutations in human corneal endothelial cells. by Doug D Chung, Angela C Chen, Charlene H Choo, Wenlin Zhang, Dominic Williams, Christopher G Griffis, Paul Bonezzi, Kavya Jatavallabhula, Alapakkam P Sampath, Anthony J Aldave

“…Additionally, SLC4A11-/- hCEnC demonstrated decreased cell-substrate adhesion and membrane capacitances compared to SLC4A11WT hCEnC. Induction with 10mM NH4Cl led SLC4A11WT hCEnC to depolarize; conversely, SLC4A11-/- hCEnC hyperpolarized and the majority of SLC4A11MU hCEnC either hyperpolarized or had minimal membrane potential changes following NH4Cl induction. …”

Engrafted human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived anterior specified neural progenitors protect the rat crushed optic nerve. by Leila Satarian, Mohammad Javan, Sahar Kiani, Maryam Hajikaram, Javad Mirnajafi-Zadeh, Hossein Baharvand

“…The hiPSC-NPs were labeled by green fluorescent protein or a fluorescent tracer 1,1' -dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (DiI) and injected two days after induction of ONC in hooded rats. Functional analysis according to visual evoked potential recordings showed significant amplitude recovery in animals transplanted with hiPSC-NPs. …”
