Sentences with phrase «response of glia»

Not exact matches

In a report on their experiments, published April 2017 in the Proceedings of The National Academy of Sciences, the researchers say they found evidence that microglia, a cell type found in most vertebrae innate immune systems, affect the Müller glia's regenerative response and can be harnessed to accelerate the growth of new tissue in the retina.

In essence, most pathological conditions in the mammalian retina lead to changes in Müller glia — often called reactive gliosis, which might be analogous to the response of astrocytes upon injury of other brain regions.

Together these studies show that the responses of both retinal ganglion cells and surrounding glia are involved in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.
