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 ...

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 ...

The train does not have a blue pixel, although it may ... Occasionally, cones, or color photoreceptor cells in the retina that turn light into signals the brain can interpret, can trick the ...

The Scientist: How can too much sunlight damage the eye? Ralph Chou: Light comes into the eye and goes through all the various layers of cells until it reaches the photoreceptors—essentially, the ...
