Prolonged exposure to artificial light and carcinogenesis: A systematic review of oncostatic mechanisms associated with melatonin pathways

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, Volume 102, Issue 4, Page 780-796, July/August 2026.
Exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN), particularly at blue wavelengths, disrupts circadian rhythms by suppressing melatonin, thereby increasing cancer susceptibility. This systematic review consolidates evidence linking prolonged ALAN exposure to an elevated risk of breast and prostate tumors.

Destruction of ipRGCs by UF008/SAP depends on dose, but not on location within the retina.

open access: yes, 2013
Ablation of ipRGCs by UF008/SAP is dose-dependent, but not related to retinal eccentricity. Each triplet of bars represents data from “peripheral” (P), ”middle” (M), and “central” (C) fields, respectively. (2-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-tests).

Retinal ganglion cell degeneration in glaucoma disrupts HPA axis temporal organization and dampens corticosterone production

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Glaucoma is a chronic optic neuropathy characterized by progressive vision loss. A previous study from our group showed that glaucoma‐induced retinal degeneration disrupts photic signaling to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), altering the molecular components of the central circadian clock.

Mice with early retinal degeneration show differences in neuropeptide expression in the suprachiasmatic nucleus

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2010
Background In mammals, the brain clock responsible for generating circadian rhythms is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus.

Melanopsin Driven Light Responses Across a Large Fraction of Retinal Ganglion Cells in a Dystrophic Retina

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) express the photopigment melanopsin and project to central targets, allowing them to contribute to both image-forming and non-image forming vision.

G-Protein Coupled Receptor Kinase 2 Minimally Regulates Melanopsin Activity in Intrinsically Photosensitive Retinal Ganglion Cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Phosphorylation is a primary modulator of mammalian G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activity. The GPCR melanopsin is the photopigment of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) in the mammalian retina. Recent evidence from in vitro

Synaptic inputs to displaced intrinsically-photosensitive ganglion cells in macaque retina

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Ganglion cells are the projection neurons of the retina. Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) express the photopigment melanopsin and also receive input from rods and cones via bipolar cells and amacrine cells.

The role and implications of mammalian cellular circadian entrainment

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 6, Page 837-846, March 2026.
At their most fundamental level, mammalian circadian rhythms occur inside every individual cell. To tell the correct time, cells must align (or ‘entrain’) their circadian rhythm to the external environment. In this review, we highlight how cells entrain to the major circadian cues of light, feeding and temperature, and the implications this has for our

TeNT expression doesn’t alter ipRGCs responses to light.

open access: yes, 2016
(A-C) Average ipRGCs responses to 1min light stimulations (480nm) of increasing irradiance (5.1010 photons/cm2/s to 5.1013 photons/cm2/s) recorded from retinas of Opn4cre/+, R26+/+ (A, n = 123), Opn4cre/+, R26+/TeNT (B, n = 87), Opn4cre/+, R26TeNT/TeNT ...

β-Arrestin-dependent deactivation of mouse melanopsin.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
In mammals, the expression of the unusual visual pigment, melanopsin, is restricted to a small subset of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), whose signaling regulate numerous non-visual functions including sleep, circadian ...
