Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Retinal blood vessels have the potential to maintain adequate and suitable retinal blood flow (RBF), which is called retinal autoregulation. It is Known that the Neurovascular coupling, one of the retinal autoregulation, is in the retina though the mechanisms of NVC was uncertain. In the current study, we revealed that the retinal glial cells had important role in regulating retinal blood flow.
