Background Under normal conditions, Müller cells support neuronal activity and the integrity
of the blood-retinal barrier, whereas gliotic alterations of Müller cells under pathological …

Müller glial cells span the entire thickness of the tissue, and ensheath all retinal neurons, in
vertebrate retinae of all species. This morphological relationship is reflected by a multitude …

Müller glial cells ensheath all retinal neurons in vertebrate retinae. There are a multitude of
functional interactions between neurons and Müller cells, including delivery of the light …

Müller cells, the major type of glial cells in the retina, are responsible for the homeostatic and
metabolic support of retinal neurons. By mediating transcellular ion, water, and bicarbonate …

Müller cells are one of the primary glial cell types found in the retina and play a significant
role in maintaining retinal function and health. Since Müller cells are the only cell type to …

purpose. In addition to photoreceptor degeneration, excessive light causes degenerative
alterations in the inner retina and ganglion cell death. A disturbance in osmohomeostasis …

Virtually all pathogenic stimuli activate Müller cells. Reactive Müller cells exert protective
and toxic effects on photoreceptors and neurons. They contribute to oxidative stress and …

Under normal conditions, the pigment epithelium dehydrates the outer retina while Müller
glial cells mediate the rapid water transport within the inner retina. Gliotic alterations of …

Diabetic retinopathy is a neurovascular complication of diabetes and the main cause of
vision loss in adults. Glial cells have a key role in maintenance of central nervous system …

Müller cells are the principal glial cells of the retina, assuming many of the functions carried
out by astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and ependymal cells in other CNS regions. Müller cells …
