Inherited retinal degenerations are a diverse group of genetic disorders that result in progressive vision loss. Advances in ...
Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...
In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic." Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science ...
Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...
Researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects color. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, ...
New UCLA research in mice suggests that "dormant" cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal ...
Research in Focus is a series that highlights Neurobiology faculty members’ papers in peer-reviewed journals. A study led by Alecia K. Gross, Ph.D., professor and vice chair for Research and Research ...
