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

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 ...

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 ...

Mantis shrimp have remarkable colour vision. They have as many as 16 types of photoreceptor cone, compared with the three ...

She is also a Certified Stress Management Coach. Do blue light glasses actually work? Though they claim to reduce eyestrain and headaches and help you sleep better, no robust research confirms ...

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 ...

A research team from the Department of Chemistry at UNIST has announced that they have identified a novel pathway through which blue light can damage cellular proteins. Blue light, which emanates ...

The primary difference between human vision and cat vision relates to the retina, the tissue in the back of the eye that ...

This occurs since light cannot be perceived in the tissues underneath the skin because of the solar shield produced by the anthocyanins accumulated in the exocarp and for the activation of regulatory ...
