Müller Glia to Müller Glia Extracellular Vesicle-Dependent Signaling Induces Multipotency Genes Nestin and l in28 Expression in Response to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) Exposure

Abstract

Retinal Müller cells secrete extracellular vesicles that can be captured by other Müller cells. In response to a signal that may be deleterious for the retina, Müller glia-derived extracellular vesicles spread instructions to induce gene expression changes in other cells.

Keywords: Müller glia; dedifferentiation; extracellular vesicles; retina; stem cell.
