Müller Glia

Radial glial cells found in the retina, providing structural and metabolic support to retinal neurons and involved in retinal homeostasis.

Key Functions:

• Provides structural support to the retina.
• Regulates the retinal microenvironment (e.g., neurotransmitter uptake).
• Involved in light guidance and retinal transparency.
• Plays a role in retinal repair and regeneration after injury.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Retina (located in)
• Neuron (supports retinal neurons)
• Glial Cell (type of)
• Nervous System (part of visual system)
