We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness or brightness is detected by photoreceptor rods. Many non-mammalian ...

Recent studies demonstrated that Opsin 5-positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-contacting neurons are deep brain ... the light input pathway that regulates PT TSH in mammals differs from that of birds.

How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness or brightness is detected by ...

“In this study, we describe 2 new pharmacochaperones, JC3 and JC4, which bind reversibly to ligand-free opsin and modulate ... mutants in vitro and slow photoreceptor cell death in a mouse ...

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

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that developmental competence factors are expressed following photoreceptor damage induced by intense light or in a genetic rod photoreceptor ...

We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red ... Light intensity-dependent arrestin switching for inactivation of a light-sensitive GPCR, bistable opsin ...

This study builds on previous work establishing reserpine as a neuroprotectant in models of Leber congenital amaurosis. Here authors show reserpine's disease gene-independent influence on ...

The mammalian retina contains its own circadian clock that processes visual information without input from the master circadian clock in the brain, according to a report in this week's Cell.This clock ...
