Description | Müller cells (MCs) (retinal gliocytes, Müller glia) are the most common of the 3 glial cells found in the human retina, followed by astroglia and microglia. MCs have been shown to originate from neural crest cells. MCs cover the entire thickness of the retina and have interactions with every type of neuronal cell body. They form architectural support structures stretching radially across the thickness of the retina and are the limits of the retina at the outer and inner limiting membrane, respectively. Muller cells contain glycogen, mitochondria, and intermediate filaments that are immunoreactive for vimentin and to some extent to glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).

Application | FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY Human Retinal Müller Cells are tools for studying the human retina and understanding retinal diseases. Müller cells play a critical role in retinal health, and their vulnerability is closely linked to photoreceptor cell pathology, particularly during aging. These cells are useful for research into the various, yet not fully understood, roles they play in retinal diseases. Investigating Müller cell functions and dysfunctions can provide insights into retinal disease mechanisms. Additionally, their ability to dedifferentiate into progenitor-like cells holds promise for future therapeutic approaches. A deeper understanding of the gliotic mechanisms underlying reactive Müller cells can aid in developing strategies that enhance their protective and regenerative properties while reducing their toxicity, potentially leading to more effective treatments for retinal disorders. | |||
