The Gonzales Lab at UNR Med, led by Albert Gonzales, Ph.D., assistant professor of physiology and cell biology, spearheaded ...

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

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

This eye, which was equivalent to the eye ... The bipolar cells insert into the pathway from photoreceptors to ganglion cells, through the retraction of photoreceptor processes and 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 ...

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.

As blood leaks into the eye, it can cause a separation of the light-sensing photoreceptor cells from the retinal membrane. This separation prevents cells from receiving much-needed nutrients ...

Two new compounds may be able to treat retinitis pigmentosa, a group of inherited eye diseases that cause blindness. The compounds, described in a study published January 14 in the open-access journal ...

The processing of optical information in the retina of the eye, where the light-sensitive photoreceptors and the first nerve cells are located, is one of the most energy-intensive processes in the ...
