Journal of Pineal Research, Volume 78, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT The present study investigates the impact of two missense SNPs in the human melanopsin gene OPN4 ‐I394T (rs1079610) and P10L (rs2675703)‐ on non‐image‐forming (NIF) physiological and behavioural outputs in healthy young adults under real‐world conditions.

Light does not phase shift the circadian clock of subcutaneous adipose tissue in vitro
npj Biological Timing and SleepThe retinal photopigment melanopsin is also expressed in subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT). Through melanopsin, light can modulate scWAT metabolism, but its impact on circadian phase is unclear.

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1240-1250, August 2026.Abstract Bioluminescent bays (biobays) are uncommon coastal ecosystems featuring dense populations of dinoflagellates, often found in mangrove‐ringed lagoons with long water retention times and high organic matter (OM) levels. Although mangroves are associated with high dinoflagellate abundance, it remains uncertain how inorganic nutrients compare with

Retention of the Full Visual Opsin Repertoire in Some Australian Cryptozoic Lizards
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study investigates the link between visual evolution and fossorial habits in the endemic Australian skink genus Lerista. We provide evidence for positive site‐specific selection in all 4 cone opsins, as well as relaxed selection specific to LWS. We also provide evidence of selection linked to limb reduction, an indicator of fossorial adaptation ...

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

Smart Molecules, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor with high stability and biocompatibility was fabricated by integrating liquid crystal polymers with polyvinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene. This device exhibits robust photoelectric responses under low‐intensity illumination and demonstrates efficacy in restoring visual responses in blind rats following ...

Linear Dichroism and Orientation of the Phycomyces Photopigment [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1974 The greater sensitivity of a cylindrical Phycomyces sporangiophore to blue light polarized transversely rather than longitudinally is a consequence of the dichroism and orientation of the receptor pigment. The abilities of wild type and several carotene mutants to distinguish between the two directions of polarization are the same.
