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 …

Abstract Structure and function are highly correlated in the vertebrate retina, a sensory tissue
that is organized into cell layers with microcircuits working in parallel and together to encode …

Many retinal diseases lead to the loss of retinal neurons and cause visual impairment. The
adult mammalian retina has little capacity for regeneration. By contrast, teleost fish …

Many neurodegenerative diseases cause degeneration of specific types of neurons. For
example, glaucoma leads to death of retinal ganglion cells, leaving other neurons intact …

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 …

The scarcity of live human brain cells for experimental access has for a long time limited our
ability to study complex human neurological disorders and elucidate basic neuroscientific …

Cellular reprogramming technology has created new opportunities in understanding human
disease, drug discovery, and regenerative medicine. While a combinatorial code was …

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 …

The formation of functional neural circuits in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS)
requires that appropriate numbers of the correct types of neuronal and glial cells are …

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 …
