This study demonstrates the critical role of Afadin on the generation and maintenance of complex cellular layers in the mouse retina. The data are solid, which provides important insights into how ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...

The problem is not for each individual Kenyan to solve. It is about what our society would like to see and whether those tasked to be our eyes are up to the task to see clearly the looming health ...

Figure 5: Expression of the G o G protein by rod bipolar cells. Although there are fewer cones in the normal murine retina than in the porcine retina, the synaptic organization of the different ...

Stargardt disease (STGD1; MIM 248200) is the most prevalent inherited macular dystrophy and is associated with disease-causing sequence variants in the gene ABCA4. Significant advances have been made ...

The optical illusion seen above makes the viewer feel as if they are falling into an expanding hole – and now we have a good explanation for why this happens. Optical tricks can be caused by ...

Based on in situ hybridization and hypothyroid studies, thyroid hormone appears to target photoreceptor development. The hormone may be acting in at least two ways. It could instruct neuronal ...

In this wavelength range, the human retina is still sensitive, resulting in a stimulation of the retina ... remains completely independent of the scaling factor and can therefore be easily analyzed ...

which feedback to the cone antagonizing the center response. Figure modified from Baylor et al. (1971). The hemichannel model was bolstered by comparing normal and genetically modified zebrafish that ...

Within rods and cone photoreceptors, a small soluble molecule called cGMP links photon absorption to the electrical activity of the photoreceptor. In the light, cGMP is destroyed and ion channels ...
