The Dual Role of Macroglia in Glaucoma: Deciphering the Contributions of Astrocytes and Müller Cells to Retinal Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection

2026-07-03

Abstract excerpt

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss characterized by the pro-gressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and structural and biochemical remodeling of the optic nerve head. Although lowering intraocular pressure remains the primary clinical intervention, neurodegeneration often persists, highlighting the com-plexity and multiple mechanisms involved in the disease's pathophysiolog...
