Abstract excerpt
Retinal Müller glia have received considerable attention with regard to their potential to function as quiescent retinal precursors. Various activation strategies induce characteristic features of retinal progenitor cells in Müller glia; however, these are often accompanied by hallmark features of reactive gliosis. We investigated the effects of an intravitreal injection of epidermal growth factor (EGF), a known...
