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

The retina is a layered structure that lines the inner surface of the eye. It consists of layers of neurons: light-sensitive photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells ...

In this study, Professor Bernier's team developed a method to coax stem cells into forming sheets of cells that recapitulate the structure ... versions of the cone photoreceptor cells, which ...

Two new compounds may be able to treat retinitis pigmentosa, a group of inherited eye diseases that cause blindness. The ...

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 ...
