Photoreceptors are the most glycolytically active cells in the body. Vital to glucose homeostasis is the metabolic relationship between the photoreceptors and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). The photoreceptors and RPE are in metabolic symbiosis, wherein the RPE takes up glucose from circulation and passes it on to the photoreceptors to fuel glycolysis.

Ischemia-induced retinopathy is a hallmark finding of common visual disorders including diabetic retinopathy (DR) and central retinal artery and vein occlusions. Treatments for ischemic retinopathies fail to improve clinical outcomes and the design of new therapies will depend on understanding the underlying disease mechanisms. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are an enzyme class that removes acetyl groups from histone and non-histone proteins, thereby regulating gene expression and protein function.

To clarify our understanding of glial phagocytosis in retinal development, we used real-time imaging of larval zebrafish to provide cell-type specific resolution of this process. We show that radial Müller glia frequently participate in microglial phagocytosis while also completing a subset of phagocytic events. Müller glia actively engage with dying cells through initial target cell contact and phagocytic cup formation, after which an exchange of the dying cell from Müller glia to microglia often takes place.

Mammalian photoreceptor outer segment renewal is a highly coordinated process that hinges on timed cell signaling between photoreceptor neurons and the adjacent retinal pigment epithelial (RPE). It is a strictly rhythmic, synchronized process that underlies in part circadian regulation. We highlight findings from recently developed methods that quantify distinct phases of outer segment renewal in retinal tissue.
