Furthermore, they no longer occupy space in the photoreceptor layer, so that more of the light can be captured. These factors might help to explain the inverted nature of the vertebrate retina.
We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness ...
Bringing the retinal NFL (labeled P2𝑃2) into focus on the fundus camera facilitates the focusing of the STOC-T image on the photoreceptor layer in the retina (labeled P1𝑃1), after a ...
Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects ...
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.
Visual perception begins as soon as the eye focuses light onto the retina, where it is absorbed by a layer of photoreceptor cells. These cells convert light into electrochemical signals ...
Disruption of photoreceptor cilia has been implicated in a variety of retinal diseases ... decrease in the thickness of the outer nuclear layer (ONL) in RD mice, indicating severe damage to ...
Based on in situ hybridization and hypothyroid studies, thyroid hormone appears to target photoreceptor development. The hormone may be acting in at least two ways. It could instruct neuronal ...
This accumulation eventually leads to the breakdown of the retinal layer called the retina pigment ... leading to the death of photoreceptor cells and, eventually, geographic atrophy, which ...
Two new compounds may be able to treat retinitis pigmentosa, a group of inherited eye diseases that cause blindness. The ...
