Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus, which appears in one
third of all diabetic patients and is a prominent cause of vision loss. First discovered as a …

Microglia, the primary resident immune cell type, constitute a key population of glia in the
retina. Recent evidence indicates that microglia play significant functional roles in the retina …

Resident microglial cells can be regarded as the immunological watchdogs of the brain and
the retina. They are active sensors of their neuronal microenvironment and rapidly respond …

Microglial cells are the resident macrophages in the central nervous system. These cells of
mesodermal/mesenchymal origin migrate into all regions of the central nervous system …

It is well established that microglial form and function are inextricably linked. In recent years,
the traditional view that microglial form ranges between “ramified resting” and “activated …

Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is a well‐characterized and extensively studied
disease. It is currently considered the leading cause of visual disability among patients over …

Elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for neurodegeneration in
glaucoma. Glial cells, which play an important role in normal functioning of retinal neurons …

The past 20 years have seen a gain in knowledge on microglia biology and microglia
functions in disease that exceeds the expectations formulated when the microglia “immune …

Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain and retina, are constantly engaged in the
surveillance of their surrounding neural tissue. During embryonic development they infiltrate …

Microglia, the primary resident immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), exhibit
dynamic behavior involving rapid process motility and cellular migration that is thought to …
