Astrocytes and Müller cells changes during retinal degeneration in a transgenic rat model of retinitis pigmentosa.
Purpose: Retinitis pigmentosa includes a group of progressive retinal degenerative diseases that affect the structure and function of photoreceptors. Secondarily to the loss of photoreceptors, there is a reduction in retinal vascularization, which seems to influence the cellular degenerative process...
