Calcium sensor proteins play a crucial role in the functioning of photoreceptor cells, which are essential for vision. These proteins, particularly the guanylate cyclase-activating proteins (GCAPs ...

Adult zebrafish possess the remarkable capacity to regenerate neurons. In the damaged zebrafish retina, Müller glia reprogram and divide to produce neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs) that proliferate ...

Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc.’s LCTX share price has surged by 14.78%, which has investors questioning if this is right time to sell.

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 ...

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.

The companies will work together by using the codon-optimized BBS1 AAV9 vector to minimize the vision loss caused by the ...

The first complete 3D reconstruction of the compound eye of a minute wasp species sheds light on the nuts and bolts of size reduction.

Researchers uncovered how zebrafish detect colors using photoreceptor cells in the pineal gland. The protein parapinopsin 1 (PP1) is inactivated by arrestin proteins Sagb and Arr3a, which switch roles ...

Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. , a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic cell therapies for unmet medical needs, today announced the closing of the second tranche of its ...
