The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 857-869, May 2026.
Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...

Autonomous Cargo Transport with Biohybrid Microswimmers Enabled by Light‐Mediated Bacteria‐Cargo Communication

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Biohybrid microswimmers, which integrate the unique mobility and taxis of living cells with the versatility of synthetic cargo, offer exciting opportunities for targeted delivery. However, current biohybrids lack autonomous decision‐making capabilities due to the absence of communication between living and synthetic components. Here, we report

Anti‐Apoptotic and Neurite‐Protective Nanomedicine Augments Embryonic Stem Cells‐Derived Retinal Ganglion Cell Transplantation in Glaucoma Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 25, 4 May 2026.
Lithium‐epigallocatechin gallate nanoparticles (Li‐EGCG NPs) are co‐transplanted with embryonic stem cell‐derived retinal ganglion cells (ESC‐RGCs) to enhance cell survival and therapeutic efficacy in an acute pathological glaucomatous injury model. This synergistic approach protects RGC cells, preserves retinal structure and improves visual function ...

Cilia in photoreceptors

2015
Retina is a neurosensory tissue lining the back of the eye and is responsible for light detection and relaying the signal to the visual cortex in the brain. Mammalian retina consists of six major types of neurons (including photoreceptors; rods and cones) and one type of glial cells arranged in distinct layers. Photoreceptors are the most abundant cell

Responses of photoreceptors

Journal of Psychiatric Research, 1971
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the responses of photoreceptors. Visual pigments are contained in specialized nerve cells, the photoreceptors, that have the ability to transform light into an electrical signal. It is observed that light adaptation decreases sensitivity, while it increases temporal resolution.

Vertebrate Photoreceptors

Progress in Retinal and Eye Research, 2001
The basis of the duplex theory of vision is examined in view of the dazzling array of data on visual pigment sequences and the pigments they form, on the microspectrophotometry measurements of single photoreceptor cells, on the kinds of photoreceptor cascade enzymes, and on the electrophysiological properties of photoreceptors.

The ageing photoreceptor

Visual Neuroscience, 2007
With age many retinal neurons are lost. In humans the rod photoreceptor population in the perimacular region is subject to approximately 30% loss over life. Those that remain have been reported to suffer from extensive convolutions and localized swellings of their outer segments abnormally increasing their disc content and outer segment length ...

The Photoreceptor Structures

1961
Publisher Summary Photoreceptors are structures containing photosensitive pigments (chlorophyll and retinene) that upon light absorption initiate phototropisms, photosynthesis, and vision. The photoreceptors in plant cells are the chloroplast for photosynthesis; in animal cells they are the retinal rods and cones for vision.
