Abstract

The inner blood-retinal barrier restricts passage of solutes and microbes between the retinal vasculature and interstitial space, protecting the neural retina. This barrier is based at the level of the retinal endothelial cells (RECs), but it is influenced by supporting cells. Retinal Müller glial cells (RMGCs) are the most abundant glia in the retina. They surround the retinal vasculature, and during disease, breaches in the endothelial basement membrane bring them into direct contact with RECs.

We aimed to develop a model for investigating interactions between human RECs and RMGCs that might contribute to blood-retinal barrier breakdown...
