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 ...

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 ...

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.

This protein has been reported to be enriched ... facilitating the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into photoreceptor cells. The study results showed that introducing LN523 into the ...

In retinitis pigmentosa, the retina protein rhodopsin is often misfolded ... effects of various rhodopsin mutants in vitro and slow photoreceptor cell death in a mouse model of RP, offering ...
