Müller glia, the principal glial cell type in the retina, have the potential to proliferate and regenerate neurons after retinal damage. However, unlike the situation in fish and birds, this capacity of Müller glia is extremely limited in mammals. To gain new insights into the mechanisms that hamper retinal regeneration in mammals, we examined the cell cycle progression and DNA damage response in Müller glia after retinal damage.
