processes in several tissues. Their action results in different outcomes depending on the …

Identifying the initiation signals for tissue regeneration in vertebrates is one of the major
challenges in regenerative biology. Much of the research thus far has indicated that certain …

Purpose.: Müller glia respond to retinal injury by a reactive gliosis, but only rarely do

The ciliary epithelium (CE) of adult mammals has been reported to provide a source of
retinal stem cells (RSCs) that can give rise to all retinal cell types in vitro. A recent study …
