| Core Tip |
Retinal degeneration is a structural failure that cannot be reversed by pathway modulation alone. Leveraging single-cell and spatial multi-omics from human retina and organoids, this review defines a multilayer fate-control paradigm - transcriptional instruction, epigenetic permission, and metabolic/inflammatory execution - that governs competence windows and photoreceptor vs inner-retinal outcomes. We compare major regenerative cell sources (retinal progenitors, Müller glia, ciliary marginal zone-like candidates, and human pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium/photoreceptors) and translate atlas insights into actionable engineering strategies, including organoid benchmarking, staged reprogramming, and rational gene + cell combinations to enhance maturation and circuit integration. |
