Loss of inwardly rectifying potassium currents by human retinal glial cells in diseases of the eye.

abstract：:Abnormal neuronal activity in sensory ganglia contributes to chronic pain. There is evidence that signals can spread between cells in these ganglia, which may contribute to this activity. Satellite glial cells (SGCs) in sensory ganglia undergo activation following peripheral injury and participate in cellular communic...
