The macula is rich in cone photoreceptors—cells important for perceiving color and seeing finer details. Currently, there are no approved treatments to replace the damaged macula, despite its ...

The macula is rich in cone photoreceptors – cells important for perceiving colour and seeing finer details. Currently, there are no approved treatments to replace the damaged macula, despite its ...

Once a cell has exited the cycle its soma migrates towards the final position that it will occupy in the retina once mature. It has recently become apparent that cone and rod photoreceptors ...

These cells are called ‘photoreceptors’. There are two types of photoreceptors. ‘Rods’ are the most common type. They are used in peripheral (side) vision and help us see when light levels are low ...

As for cone photoreceptors, I have demonstrated that the functional ... Increasing studies have supported the hypothesis that synapse formation is controlled by various families of cell adhesion ...

There are two types of photoreceptor cells. There are rods, which are used in night vision and peripheral vision. Rods identify the different shades of gray. Cones, the second type of photoreceptors, ...

It could instruct neuronal maturation, allowing already-born photoreceptors to express ... same rate but produced a larger number of cells expressing cone markers. Furthermore, cells cultured ...

In wild-type, retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), and nuclear layers of rod and cone photoreceptors are distinct, and rod outer segment (OS ...

Visual pigment describes the molecules that capture light photons in the photoreceptors. The molecules are found in the outer segments of the rods and cones within the cell membrane which are arranged ...

To date, more than 200 genes are known to cause IRDs, which perturb the development, function and survival of rod and cone photoreceptors or retinal pigment epithelial cells. Conversely, AMD, the most ...
