Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor Released by Müller Glial Cells Exerts Neuroprotective Effects on Retinal Ganglion Cells

Survival of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) is compromised in several vision-threatening disorders such as ischemic and hypertensive retinopathies and glaucoma. Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a naturally occurring pleiotropic secreted factor in the retina. PEDF produced by retinal glial (M...
