Description

Human Retinal Müller Cells are specialized glial cells isolated from adult human retinal tissue and cryopreserved after primary culture. These cells exhibit elongated, radial morphology spanning the retinal layers and express characteristic markers such as glutamine synthetase, vimentin, and CRALBP. As the principal glial cells of the retina, Müller cells provide structural and metabolic support to retinal neurons, maintain homeostasis, regulate extracellular ion balance, clear neurotransmitters, and contribute to the integrity of the blood-retinal barrier. They are critically involved in the pathophysiology of retinal diseases including diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Human Müller cells serve as essential models for studying retinal disorders such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and AMD. To preserve their viability and functional properties, repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided during culture.

Application

  • Human Retinal Müller Cells are widely used in retinal disease research to investigate cellular responses to oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. They serve as an in vitro model to study mechanisms underlying diabetic retinopathy, retinal degeneration, and gliosis. These cells are also utilized for drug screening targeting neuroprotection and anti-inflammatory pathways and to explore cell signaling, neurovascular interactions, and retinal regeneration. Co-culture systems with retinal neurons enable studies of cell-cell communication and retinal microenvironment modulation.
