This study investigates Müller glia-vascular interactions in the developing mouse retina, finding that calcium signaling at the glial-vascular interface is independent of spontaneous neuronal activity.

The paper adapts a two-photon microscope to detect both visible and near-infrared fluorescence, enabling simultaneous dopamine and calcium imaging in the retina.

This study shows that reducing Glut1 in retinal neurons, but not the RPE, reduces polyol accumulation and prevents early diabetic retinopathy features in mice.
