Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate Müller cells as a potential source of fibrocontractive cells in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS: Temporal changes in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), vimentin, glutamine synthetase, and alpha smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA) expression in cultures of freshly isolated porcine Müller cells were evaluated by indirect immunofluorescence and Western blotting. A similar evaluation...
