Mutation of vsx genes in zebrafish highlights the robustness of the retinal specification network
eLife, 2023 Genetic studies in human and mice have established a dual role for Vsx genes in retina development: an early function in progenitors’ specification, and a later requirement for bipolar-cells fate determination. Despite their conserved expression patterns,

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.This review surveys eukaryotic cilia as putative quantum‐enabled sensory and regulatory centers. It highlights their multifaceted roles in the cell, focuses on the nontrivial roles of quantum mechanics in their membrane and cytoskeletal proteins, and introduces the essential building blocks enabling quantum properties to survive in the warm, wet, and ...

, 2005 SummaryAnimal photoreceptor cells can be classified into two distinct types, depending on whether the photopigment is borne on the membrane of a modified cilium (ciliary type) or apical microvilli (rhabdomeric type) [1].

Gogo receptor contributes to retinotopic map formation and prevents R1-6 photoreceptor axon bundling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND:Topographic maps form the basis of neural processing in sensory systems of both vertebrate and invertebrate species. In the Drosophila visual system, neighboring R1-R6 photoreceptor axons innervate adjacent positions in the first optic ...

Cilia in Nervous System Development, Function, and Disease
MedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.Cilia are evolutionarily conserved organelles that function as essential sensory and motility platforms in the nervous system. This review outlines key cilia‐dependent signaling pathways and their roles in neural development and function. Furthermore, it highlights how ciliary dysfunction can lead to a variety of neurological disorders, known as ...

Analysis of transcriptional regulatory pathways of photoreceptor genes by expression profiling of the Otx2-deficient retina. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In the vertebrate retina, the Otx2 transcription factor plays a crucial role in the cell fate determination of both rod and cone photoreceptors. We previously reported that Otx2 conditional knockout (CKO) mice exhibited a total absence of rods and cones ...

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 6, June 2026.The molecular mechanisms of RORA targeting PRNP activate oxidative injury‐induced cellular senescence and apoptosis of lens epithelial cells. Current research confirms that the transcription factor RORA targets PRNP, exacerbating cellular senescence and apoptosis of LECs (Figure 7).

Photoreceptor specific guanylate cyclases in vertebrate phototransduction
, 2002 Two membrane bound guanylate cyclases are expressed in vertebrate photoreceptor cells. They serve a key function in photoreceptor physiology as they synthesize the intracellular transmitter of photoexcitation guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP ...
