A cell atlas of the chick retina based on single-cell transcriptomics
eLife, 2021 Retinal structure and function have been studied in many vertebrate orders, but molecular characterization has been largely confined to mammals. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to generate a cell atlas of the chick retina.

Gap Junctions between Photoreceptor Cells in the Vertebrate Retina [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1973 In the outer plexiform layer of the retina the synaptic endings of cone cells make specialized junctions with each other and with the endings of rod cells. The ultrastructure of these interreceptor junctions is described in retinas of monkeys, rabbits, and turtles, in thin sections of embedded specimens and by the freeze-fracturing technique.

PLoS ONE, 2022 Cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) cation channels are important heterotetrameric proteins in the retina, with different subunit composition in cone and rod photoreceptor cells: three CNGA3 and one CNGB3 in cones and three CNGA1 and one CNGB1 in rods.

Feedback from Horizontal Cells to Rod Photoreceptors in Vertebrate Retina [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2008 Retinal horizontal cells (HCs) provide negative feedback to cones, but, largely because annular illumination fails to evoke a depolarizing response in rods, it is widely believed that there is no feedback from HCs to rods. However, feedback from HCs to cones involves small changes in the calcium current ( I

Notch pathway mutants do not equivalently perturb mouse embryonic retinal development.
PLoS Genetics, 2023 In the vertebrate eye, Notch ligands, receptors, and ternary complex components determine the destiny of retinal progenitor cells in part by regulating Hes effector gene activity. There are multiple paralogues for nearly every node in this pathway, which

Multifunctional glial support by Semper cells in the Drosophila retina. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Glial cells play structural and functional roles central to the formation, activity and integrity of neurons throughout the nervous system. In the retina of vertebrates, the high energetic demand of photoreceptors is sustained in part by Müller glia, an ...

Preparation of Living Isolated Vertebrate Photoreceptor Cells for Fluorescence Imaging [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2011 In the vertebrate retina, phototransduction, the conversion of light to an electrical signal, is carried out by the rod and cone photoreceptor cells¹⁻⁴. Rod photoreceptors are responsible for vision in dim light, cones in bright light. Phototransduction takes place in the outer segment of the photoreceptor cell, a specialized compartment that contains ...

A monoclonal antibody which recognizes the inner and outer segments of the photoreceptor cells in the vertebrate retina.A monoclonal antibody (MAb-1E7), generated against bovine retinal homogenate, labeled the outer and inner segment layers of the vertebrate retina. Immuno-electron microscopic observation clearly demonstrated that antigen(s) bound by MAb-1E7 was localized in the cell membrane of the outer segment and the distal portion of the inner segment. Western blot

Circadian Oscillators in Vertebrate Retinal Photoreceptor Cells
Neurosignals, 1997 Recent progress in research on retinal circadian rhythmicity is reviewed. Important advances include the discovery that circadian oscillators are present in the retinas of diverse vertebrate species, and evidence that circadian rhythmicity is generated by the photoreceptor cells.
