From blue light to clock genes in zebrafish ZEM-2S cells.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Melanopsin has been implicated in the mammalian photoentrainment by blue light. This photopigment, which maximally absorbs light at wavelengths between 470 and 480 nm depending on the species, is found in the retina of all classes of vertebrates so far ...

Ciliary Defects in Inherited Retinal Diseases
Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.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 ...

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 3, Page 1242-1252, 1 March 2026.Abstract Magnetophosphenes are flickering lights perceived when an extremely low frequency magnetic field generates a sufficiently strong electric field in the head. Understanding how phosphenes are produced is crucial, as they form the basis for international safety standards and guidelines for both workers and the general population.

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Exopolymeric substances (EPS) produced in the photic zone and surface sediments sequester calcium. Below the sediment surface, heterotrophic bacteria degrade EPS, releasing calcium resulting in carbonate precipitation. This process, which continues for millennia deep in the core, is an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 325-335, February 2026.Jewel beetles can discriminate leaf feeding sites and bark oviposition sites based upon the opponent comparison of their blue, green, and red photoreceptor signals. Through this mechanism, green traps resemble leaves, and purple traps resemble bark, explaining their different attractiveness to males and females.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.The present study investigates a cone‐specific STX3 knockout model, displaying a complete loss of cone function, a later onset reduction in rod function, and photoreceptor cell death. A cone‐specific depletion of STXBP1 and ARR4 could be observed in this model.

PLoS 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

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Benthic microalgal (BMA) communities contribute significantly to food webs, nutrient cycling, and carbon flows in intertidal habitats. However, the contribution of BMA to saltmarsh carbon stocks (“blue carbon”) is unclear. BMA and sediment total organic carbon (TOC) stocks were measured in an east coast American Atlantic saltmarsh, revealing ...

Multiphoton response of retinal rod photoreceptors
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2007 Phototransduction is the process by which light is converted into an electrical response in retinal photoreceptors. Rod photoreceptors contain a stack of (about 1000) disc membranes packed with photopigment rhodopsin molecules, which absorb the photons ...
