Cells, 2022 Retinal degeneration is a common feature in peroxisomal disorders leading to blindness. Peroxisomes are present in the different cell types of the retina; however, their precise contribution to retinal integrity is still unclear.

Photomorphogenesis and Photoreceptors
, 2016 Plants use light as their main source of energy and to gather information about their surroundings. The light environment is monitored through an extensive set of photoreceptors and largely dictates plant development through induction of processes such as germination and flowering, entrainment of the circadian clock and photomorphogenic responses ...

Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction
Advanced Science, EarlyView.During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.

Novel Porcine Retina Cultivation Techniques Provide Improved Photoreceptor Preservation
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in industrialized countries among people over 60 years. It has multiple triggers and risk factors, but despite intense research efforts, its pathomechanisms are currently not ...

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2016 Purpose Loss of photoreceptor cells is associated with retinal vascular degeneration in retinitis pigmentosa, whereas the presence of photoreceptor cells is implicated in vascular degeneration in diabetic retinopathy.

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 1965 This essay will endeavor to demonstrate the relevance to photoreceptors of the Darwinian dictum: descent with modification. Considering the critical importance of radiant energy for almost all living organisms, it may be assumed that organelles adapted for activation by photons arose very early, perhaps not long after the evolution of the cell itself ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A zebrafish model carrying an identical human RHO S334X allele reveals two independent genetic layers shaping retinitis pigmentosa (RP) severity: a protective 3‐bp cis‐regulatory insertion that attenuates transgene expression, and a dominant trans‐acting modifier that restores a severe phenotype.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

The Cone Dysfunction Syndromes [PDF]
, 2016 The cone dysfunction syndromes are a heterogeneous group of inherited, predominantly stationary retinal disorders characterised by reduced central vision, and varying degrees of colour vision abnormalities, nystagmus and photophobia.

670 nm light mitigates oxygen-induced degeneration in C57BL/6J mouse retina [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND Irradiation with light wavelengths from the far red (FR) to the near infrared (NIR) spectrum (600 nm -1000 nm) has been shown to have beneficial effects in several disease models.
