Müller glia: Stem cells for generation and regeneration of retinal neurons in teleost fish

JR Lenkowski, PA Raymond - Progress in retinal and eye research, 2014 - Elsevier
Adult zebrafish generate new neurons in the brain and retina throughout life. Growth-related
neurogenesis allows a vigorous regenerative response to damage, and fish can regenerate …

Repressing notch signaling and expressing TNFα are sufficient to mimic retinal regeneration by inducing Müller glial proliferation to generate committed progenitor …

C Conner, KM Ackerman, M Lahne… - Journal of …, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
Retinal damage in teleosts, unlike mammals, induces robust Müller glia-mediated
regeneration of lost neurons. We examined whether Notch signaling regulates Müller glia …

Müller glia activation in response to inherited retinal degeneration is highly varied and disease-specific

C Hippert, AB Graca, AC Barber, EL West, AJ Smith… - PloS one, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Despite different aetiologies, most inherited retinal disorders culminate in photoreceptor
loss, which induces concomitant changes in the neural retina, one of the most striking being …

[HTML][HTML] Harnessing the neuroprotective behaviors of Müller glia for retinal repair

JS Peña, M Vazquez - Frontiers in bioscience (Landmark edition), 2022 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Progressive and irreversible vision loss in mature and aging adults creates a health and
economic burden, worldwide. Despite the advancements of many contemporary therapies to …

Notch3 and DeltaB maintain Müller glia quiescence and act as negative regulators of regeneration in the light‐damaged zebrafish retina

LJ Campbell, JS Hobgood, M Jia, P Boyd, RI Hipp… - Glia, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Damage to the zebrafish retina stimulates resident Müller glia to reprogram, reenter the cell
cycle, divide asymmetrically, and produce neuronal progenitor cells that amplify and …

Reactive gliosis in the adult zebrafish retina

JL Thomas, AH Ranski, GW Morgan… - Experimental eye …, 2016 - Elsevier
In contrast to mammals, zebrafish posses the remarkable ability to regenerate retinal
neurons. Damage to the zebrafish retina induces Müller glia to act as stem cells, generating …

Reversible reactivity by optic nerve astrocytes

D Sun, J Qu, TC Jakobs - Glia, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Reactive astrocytes are typically studied in models that cause irreversible mechanical
damage to axons, neuronal cell bodies, and glia. Here, we evaluated the response of …

Injury-independent induction of reactive gliosis in retina by loss of function of the LIM homeodomain transcription factor Lhx2

J De Melo, K Miki, A Rattner… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Müller glia are the primary glial subtype in the retina and perform a wide range of
physiological tasks in support of retinal function, but little is known about the transcriptional …

Age‐dependent M üller glia neurogenic competence in the mouse retina

K Löffler, P Schäfer, M Völkner, T Holdt, MO Karl - Glia, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The mechanisms limiting neuronal regeneration in mammals and their relationship with
reactive gliosis are unknown. Müller glia (MG), common to all vertebrate retinas, readily …

Anatomy of the human optic nerve: Structure and function

JJ Salazar, AI Ramírez, R De Hoz… - Optic …, 2018 - books.google.com
