About the Cover
Cover: During development of the central nervous system, radial glia guide neurons into their final destinations. Later on, most radial glia differentiate into various astroglial cell types. In the retina, however, they persist into adulthood as Müller cells. The absence of intermediate filament proteins GFAP and vimentin leads to a decreased resistance towards severe mechanical stress in the part of the retina rich in endfeet of Müller cells. Red, parallel arrays of Müller cells and a network of astrocytes; green, vessels. See article by Lundkvist et al. (pp. 3481-3488).
