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

Two new compounds may be able to treat retinitis pigmentosa, a group of inherited eye diseases that cause blindness. The compounds were identified using a virtual screening approach.

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

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...

Here authors show reserpine's disease gene-independent influence on photoreceptor survival and emphasizes the importance of considering ... RSP: reserpine, ONL: outer nuclear layer, INL: inner nuclear ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the new study, researchers utilized virtual screening to search for new drug-like molecules that bind to and stabilize the structure ... in vitro and slow photoreceptor cell death in a mouse ...

According to precedent and due to his status, Yoon will probably be assigned a solitary cell, likely bigger and better appointed than the standard 6.56 square metre (71 square feet) single cells.

The team believes that the structure was in use until the 8th century BCE, the middle of the period when the Kings of Judah ruled. A scarab seal from the 8th century BCE uncovered during the ...
