Ciliary Defects in Inherited Retinal Diseases. [PDF]

Adv Genet (Hoboken)
The photoreceptor cilium is a specialized sensory organelle essential for vision. This review systematically summarizes the structural and functional defects of the cilium that lead to inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). It highlights key pathogenic genes, elucidates molecular mechanisms of degeneration, and evaluates emerging therapeutic strategies ...

Functional analysis of the nonvisual opsins melanopsin and vertebrate ancient opsin (VA opsin) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

, 2017
The role of nonvisual photoreceptors is yet to be elucidated regarding the link to biological function. This study aims to characterise the expression pattern of melanopsin and vertebrate ancient opsin during early developmental stages of Atlantic salmon, and to relate the function of these genes to hatching.
