Subretinal Implantation of Electrospun, Short Nanowire, and Smooth Poly(ε-caprolactone) Scaffolds to the Subretinal Space of Porcine Eyes

Biodegradable scaffolds play an important adjunct role in transplantation of retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) to the subretinal space. Poly(ε-Caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds with different modifications were subretinally implanted in 28 porcine eyes and evaluated by multifocal electroretinography (mfER...
