Color vision: Opsins and options [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999 A recent estimate suggests that we can potentially distinguish 2.3 million colors (1), and yet we achieve this by comparing the rates at which photons are absorbed in just three classes of retinal photopigment (Fig. 1 Lower). The photopigments consist of 11-cis-retinal bound to different “opsins,” which are members of the large family of G-protein ...

Harnessing blue light photobiomodulation for cancer therapy: Evidence from a systematic review
Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Conventional treatments for various types of cancer are often associated with tumor recurrence and aggressiveness. Photobiomodulation with blue light (BL; 450–470 nm) emerges as a promising alternative with antitumor effects. This systematic review, with 37 in vitro and in vivo studies from 2002 to 2024, revealed that BL reduces cell viability ...

Vision Research, 2011 Mouse cone photoreceptors, like those of most mammals including humans, express cone opsins derived from two ancient families: S-opsin (gene Opn1sw) and M-opsin (gene Opn1mw). Most C57Bl/6 mouse cones co-express both opsins, but in dorso-ventral counter-gradients, with M-opsin dominant in the dorsal retina and S-opsin in the ventral retina, and S-opsin

BiP prevents rod opsin aggregation
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2012 Mutations in rod opsin—the light-sensitive protein of rod cells—cause retinitis pigmentosa. Many rod opsin mutations lead to protein misfolding, and therefore it is important to understand the role of molecular chaperones in rod opsin biogenesis. We show that BiP (HSPA5) prevents the aggregation of rod opsin.

Navigating the Ethereal Tightrope: The Nanogenerator Manipulates Neurons for Immune Equilibrium
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.This review explores how nanogenerators modulate neuroimmune responses, offering innovative strategies for treating neurological disorders. By interfacing with neural pathways, they enable precise control of immune activity, especially via vagus nerve stimulation.

Laser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 5, 6 March 2026.In this work, we investigated the dynamic retinal pathology of glaucoma from onset to late stages through longitudinal in vivo high‐resolution imaging in a silicone oil‐induced ocular hypertension (SOHU) glaucoma mouse model. We developed an optimized adaptive optics two‐photon excitation fluorescence microscopy (AO‐TPEFM) technique for morphological ...
