Inventors: Yiqin Du: James L. Funderburgh: Joel Steven Schuman

Patent Number: 13/361,908

Abstract

Provided herein are isolated populations of multipotent stem cells capable of differentiating into trabecular meshwork (TM) cells, methods of obtaining an isolated population of TM cells, and isolated populations of TM cells obtained therefrom. Compositions, kits, and devices comprising the isolated populations of multipotent stem cells or TM cells are also provided herein. Further provided are methods of using the compositions, kits, and devices for decreasing intraocular pressure in an eye, increasing cell density in a trabecular meshwork of an eye, increasing outflow of aqueous humor from an eye, or treating or preventing a medical condition in a subject.
