Whereas in the brain, the activity of the neurons is supported by several types of glial cells such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal cells, the retina (evolving from the brain during ontogenesis) contains only one type of macroglial cell, the Müller (radial glial) cells, in most verteb

Inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels have been implicated in the mediation of retinal K+ homeostasis by Muller glial cells. To assess possible involvement of altered glial K+ channel expression in ischemia-reperfusion injury, transient retinal ischemia was induced in rat eyes. Acutely isolated Mull
## Abstract The present study was aimed at characterizing the GABA~A~ receptor‐mediated currents in acutely isolated glial (Müller) cells of the human retina and investigating their subcellular localization across the Müller cell membrane. Extracellular application of GABA evoked two current respon
In the continuously enlarging eye of teleost fishes retinal growth is achieved by the generation of new cells and by stretching the existing tissue. As a consequence of stretching, the density for most neurons decreases except for rod photoreceptors, which are produced by stem cells in the outer nuc
