Most people who are allergic to cats aren’t reacting to the fur—they’re reacting to a protein in cat saliva called Fel d 1.

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Our ability to see starts with the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells in our eyes. A specific region of the retina, termed ...

Let us be honest- our bodies are under constant threat now more than ever. From pollution in the air we breathe, to ...

UCLA scientists found that in early retinitis pigmentosa, rod bipolar cells in mice rewire to connect with cones, preserving ...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), classified into dry and wet types, poses a significant threat to the vision of the ...

Seeing the future: Zebrafish regenerates fully functional photoreceptor cells and restores its vision Date: August 29, 2024 Source: Technische Universität Dresden Summary: Blinding diseases lead ...

Normally, humans perceive color based on the particular wavelengths of light reaching our retinas and stimulating our photoreceptor cells in a particular ratio and pattern.

We propose a step-wise 'transcriptional dominance' model of photoreceptor cell fate determination, with the S cone representing the default state of a generic photoreceptor precursor.

Researchers delivered base-editing tools using a modified viral vector to correct a retinal disease-causing mutation. Injecting the gene-editing machinery in mouse retina resulted in expression of the ...
