Abstract excerpt
In lower vertebrates, such as fish, Müller glia plays an essential role in the restoration of visual function after retinal degeneration by transdifferentiating into photoreceptors and other retinal neurons. During this process, Müller cells re-enter the cell cycle, proliferate, and migrate from the inner nuclear layer (INL) to the photoreceptor layer where they express photoreceptor-specific markers. This...
