Since decades it has been known that non-protein-coding RNAs have important cellular
functions. Deep sequencing recently facilitated the discovery of thousands of novel …

The mammalian retina provides an excellent opportunity to study glia–neuron interactions
and the interactions of glia with blood vessels. Three main types of glial cells are found in …

Precise temporal control of gene expression in neuronal progenitors is necessary for correct
regulation of neurogenesis and cell fate specification. However, the cellular heterogeneity of …

Long intervening noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) are transcribed from thousands of loci in
mammalian genomes and might play widespread roles in gene regulation and other cellular …

The development of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has allowed high-resolution
analysis of cell-type diversity and transcriptional networks controlling cell-fate specification …

Only relatively recently has it become clear that mammalian genomes encode tens of
thousands of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). A striking 40% of these are expressed …

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 …

Most of the eukaryotic genome is transcribed, yielding a complex network of transcripts that
includes tens of thousands of long noncoding RNAs with little or no protein-coding capacity …

Recently, a novel class of transcripts, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), is being identified
at a rapid pace. These RNAs have critical roles in diverse biological processes, including …
