'Monocyte factory' to help scientists study immune-related conditions of the eye
Scientists at the National Eye Institute have published a protocol for generating immune cells from patient-derived stem cells. The technique, known by the research team as a “monocyte factory,” makes possible a theoretically limitless source of human immune cells for research and the development of therapies for a variety of conditions including eye disease.
