A Muller glia-retinal pigment epithelium apical network surrounding cone outer segments in fish and mouse

Maria Sharkova, Michael Housset, Samantha Boudreau…·Jennifer C. Hocking

The paper describes a revised model of the subretinal space architecture in fish and mouse, showing that Muller glia and RPE interact with cone outer segments through extended apical processes.
