We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness ...

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects ...

The companies will work together by using the codon-optimized BBS1 AAV9 vector to minimize the vision loss caused by the ...

Using the stem cells, the researchers made "retinal sheets" that are enriched in immature versions of the cone photoreceptor cells, which could become mature cone cells when cultured in the lab.

Researchers uncovered how zebrafish detect colors using photoreceptor cells in the pineal gland. The protein parapinopsin 1 ...

Calcium sensor proteins play a crucial role in the functioning of photoreceptor cells, which are essential for vision. These proteins, particularly the guanylate cyclase-activating proteins (GCAPs ...

Can cats see well at night? What about at a distance? Can cats see color? And if so, which ones? Many cat parents don’t ...

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a group of monogenic disorders caused by mutations in more than 280 genes, and are characterized by progressive degeneration of photoreceptor cells in the retina.

We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness ...

A type of pineal photoreceptor cell that contains a protein called parapinopsin 1 (PP1) detects color. These PP1 cells become active and inactive in proportion to the difference in wavelength of ...
