Adult limbal neurosphere cells: a potential autologous cell resource for retinal cell generation
, 2014 The Corneal limbus is a readily accessible region at the front of the eye, separating the cornea and sclera. Neural colonies (neurospheres) can be generated from adult corneal limbus in vitro.

β-arrestin functionally regulates the non-bleaching pigment parapinopsin in lamprey pineal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The light response of vertebrate visual cells is achieved by light-sensing proteins such as opsin-based pigments as well as signal transduction proteins, including visual arrestin.

Expression of novel opsins and intrinsic light responses in the mammalian retinal ganglion cell line RGC-5. Presence of OPN5 in the rat retina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The vertebrate retina is known to contain three classes of photoreceptor cells: cones and rods responsible for vision, and intrinsically photoresponsive retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) involved in diverse non-visual functions such as photic entrainment of ...

Modeling Morphogenesis of Outer Segments of Vertebrate Photoreceptor Cells [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 The vertebrate eye contains two main types of photoreceptor cells: rods and cones. The outer segment of the rod cells are cylindrical in shape and contain 500-1000 pancake-shaped structures stacked on top of each other, ensheathed within a plasma membrane.

Amacrine cells differentially balance zebrafish color circuits in the central and peripheral retina
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: The vertebrate inner retina is driven by photoreceptors whose outputs are already pre-processed; in zebrafish, outer retinal circuits split “color” from “grayscale” information across four cone-photoreceptor types.

penner/lgl2 is required for the integrity of the photoreceptor layer in the zebrafish retina
Biology Open, 2019 The vertebrate retina is a complex tissue built from multiple neuronal cell types, which develop from a pseudostratified neuroepithelium. These cells are arranged into a highly organized and stereotypic pattern formed by nuclear and plexiform layers. The

Unidirectional photoreceptor-to-Müller glia coupling and unique K+ channel expression in Caiman retina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Müller cells, the principal glial cells of the vertebrate retina, are fundamental for the maintenance and function of neuronal cells. In most vertebrates, including humans, Müller cells abundantly express Kir4.1 inwardly rectifying potassium channels ...

Cone photoreceptors transfer damaged mitochondria to Müller glia
Cell Reports, 2023 Summary: Mitochondria are vital organelles that require sophisticated homeostatic mechanisms for maintenance. Intercellular transfer of damaged mitochondria is a recently identified strategy broadly used to improve cellular health and viability. Here, we

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...
