In vitro evaluation of reactive astrocyte migration, a component of tissue remodeling in glaucomatous optic nerve head.

abstract：:Two types of glial cells occur in the retina, Müller cells and astrocytes. These cells share several structural features such as extending endfeet onto blood vessels of the retina. Retinal vessels express a tight blood-retinal barrier which is comparable to the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of the CNS. While astrocytes ha...
