Gap Junctional Coupling Between Retinal Astrocytes Exacerbates Neuronal Damage in Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

PURPOSE: Retinal astrocytes abundantly express connexin 43 (Cx43), a transmembrane protein that forms gap junction (GJ) channels and unopposed hemichannels. While it is well established that Cx43 is upregulated in retinal injuries, it is unclear whether astrocytic Cx43 plays a role in retinal gangli...
