Müller glia are the major glial component of the retina. They are one of the last retinal cell
types to be born during development, and they function to maintain retinal homeostasis and …

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 …

Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) in the human is a progressive, currently irreversible neural
degenerative disease usually caused by gene defects that disrupt the function or …

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 …

Normal vision depends on the normal function of retinal neurons, so vision loss in diabetes
must ultimately be explained in terms of altered neuronal function. However, to date …

Changes in the response to release of a single synaptic vesicle have generally been
attributed to postsynaptic modification of receptor sensitivity, but considerable evidence now …

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 …
