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 ...

The identification of the ZtWco-1 gene, a homolog of the blue-light photoreceptor WC-1, suggests that light detection is crucial for the virulence and development of this pathogen[5]. This finding ...

If you’ve ever suffered from dry, irritated eyes or struggled to fall asleep after a long day of staring at your computer, you may have been tempted to purchase a pair of blue-light-blocking ...

Blue light is the visible light at the blue end of the spectrum. Although not as energetic as ultraviolet (UV) light, there is concern that high doses of blue light may cause more cellular damage than ...

Learn more› By Kaitlyn Wells and Zoe Vanderweide If you believe the hype, blue-light blocking glasses will prevent headaches, decrease eyestrain, and help you sleep like a baby. But do they work?

Do blue light glasses actually work? Though they claim to reduce eyestrain and headaches and help you sleep better, no robust research confirms that blue light-blocking glasses support your eye ...

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

Another critical aspect of chloroplast movement is the role of phototropins, which are blue-light photoreceptors that help plants sense light and cold temperatures. Research has shown that ...
