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 …

Retinal ischemia is a common cause of visual impairment and blindness. At the cellular
level, ischemic retinal injury consists of a self-reinforcing destructive cascade involving …

Optimal retinal neuronal cell function requires an appropriate, tightly regulated environment,
provided by cellular barriers, which separate functional compartments, maintain their …

In addition to photoreceptors and neurons, glial cells (in particular Müller cells) contribute to
the removal and metabolization of neurotransmitters in the neural retina. This review …

Müller cells, the principal glial cells of the retina, support the synaptic activity by the uptake
and metabolization of extracellular neurotransmitters. Müller cells express uptake and …

DEGENERATIONS Andreas Bringmann and And Page 1 [Frontiers in Bioscience 6, e77-92 …

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 …

Photoreceptors and other cells of the retina consume large quantities of energy to efficiently
convert light information into a neuronal signal understandable by the brain. The necessary …

The goal of this study was to investigate the reaction of the Mü ller cells to elevated
intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated IOP is one of the risk factors in glaucomatous retinal …

Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the vertebrate central nervous system.
Once released, it binds to specific membrane receptors and transporters activating a wide …
