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

Recent studies have revealed complex mechanisms behind the evolution of these visual systems, including gene duplication, loss, and the adaptation of photoreceptor sensitivity to different ...

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

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

Disruption of photoreceptor cilia has been implicated in a variety of retinal diseases, collectively called retinociliopathies, such as Leber congenital amaurosis and retinopathy of prematurity.

Molecular Mechanisms of Retinal Degenerations and Ciliopathies Alecia K. Gross, PhD, is researching protein-mediated retinal degenerations and molecular mechanisms of photoreceptor membrane biogenesis ...

Professor Terakita added, "The elucidation of the mechanism of color discrimination by a single type of photoreceptor protein is expected to contribute to the realization of optogenetics ...
