Core Tip	Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are usually evoked for their potential for regenerative medicine. However, beside these aspects, novel interests raise from the potential of hPSCs to model human diseases including retinopathies. In this review, we describe how these cells allow the study of the molecular mechanisms leading to some form of retinopathies through the development of retinal specific cell type derived from the differentiation of hPSCs. We also discuss the use of hPSCs cellular models for the validation of gene therapy and for drug screening purpose.
