In humans, various genetic defects or age-related diseases, such as diabetic retinopathies,
glaucoma, and macular degeneration, cause the death of retinal neurons and profound …

Retinal dystrophies are a major cause of blindness for which there are currently no curative
treatments. Transplantation of stem cell‐derived neuronal progenitors to replace lost cells …

Müller glia originate from neuroepithelium and are the principal glial cells in the retina.
During retinal development, Müller glia are one of the last cell types to be born. In lower …

The domestic chicken, Gallus gallus, serves as an excellent model for the study of a wide
range of ocular diseases and conditions. The purpose of this manuscript is to outline some …

The regenerative capacity of the vertebrate retina varies substantially across species.
Whereas fish and amphibians can regenerate functional retina, mammals do not. In this …

Retinal regeneration is robust in some cold-blooded vertebrates, but this process is
ineffective in warm-blooded vertebrates. Understanding the mechanisms that suppress the …

Recent studies suggest midkine (MDK) is involved in the development and regeneration of
the zebrafish retina. We investigate the expression patterns of MDK and related factors, roles …

Endocannabinoids (eCB) are lipid‐based neurotransmitters that are known to influence
synaptic function in the visual system. eCBs are also known to suppress neuroinflammation …

Müller glia are capable of de-differentiating and proliferating to become Müller glia-derived
progenitor cells (MGPCs) with the ability to regenerate retinal neurons. One of the cell …

Müller glia are a cellular source for neuronal regeneration in vertebrate retinas. However,
the capacity for retinal regeneration varies widely across species. Understanding the …
