The ability and efficiency of mRNA‐reprogrammed human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to yield retinal cell types in a directed, stepwise manner was tested. hiPSCs derived through mRNA‐based reprogramming strategies offer numerous advantages owing to the lack of genomic integration or constitutive expression of pluripotency genes. Such methods represent a promising new approach for retinal stem cell research, especially translational applications.
