Retinal Muller cells are a type of glial cell found in the retina of the eye. These cells are responsible for providing structural support to the retina and helping to maintain the proper functioning of retinal neurons.
Muller cells also play a role in regulating the extracellular environment of the retina, including the balance of ions and neurotransmitters. They are involved in the removal of excess neurotransmitters and waste products, helping to prevent damage to retinal neurons.
In addition, Muller cells are believed to have a role in the response to retinal injury and inflammation. They can undergo reactive gliosis, a process in which they proliferate and become hypertrophic in response to retinal damage or disease.
Overall, retinal Muller cells play a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of the retina, and their dysfunction has been implicated in various retinal disorders and diseases.
