Using electroretinograms and multi-model inference to identify spectral classes of photoreceptors and relative opsin expression levels [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Understanding how individual photoreceptor cells factor in the spectral sensitivity of a visual system is essential to explain how they contribute to the visual ecology of the animal in question.

BMC Biology, 2021 Background Pineal-related organs in cyclostomes, teleosts, amphibians, and reptiles exhibit color opponency, generating antagonistic neural responses to different wavelengths of light and thereby sensory information about its “color”.

Life Science Alliance, 2020 This study reports that activation of SARM1 causes destruction of NAD pools in photoreceptor cells of the retina and identifies a role for SARM1-dependent photoreceptor cell death in retinal degeneration.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Photoreceptor degeneration differentially impacts glutamatergic signaling in downstream On and Off bipolar cells. In rodent models, photoreceptor degeneration leads to loss of glutamatergic signaling in On bipolar cells, whereas Off bipolar cells appear ...

Phototransduction in ganglion-cell photoreceptors [PDF]
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2007 A third class of photoreceptors has recently been identified in the mammalian retina. They are a rare cell type within the class of ganglion cells, which are the output cells of the retina. These intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells support a variety of physiological responses to daylight, including synchronization of circadian rhythms ...

Differentiation of human olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells into photoreceptor cells in vitro [PDF]
International Journal of Ophthalmology, 2017 AIM: To investigate whether the human olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells (OM-MSCs) can differentiate into photoreceptor cells in vitro. METHODS: Through the olfactory mucosa adherent method, olfactory mucosa was isolated, cultured and identified in

Three distinct roles for notch in Drosophila R7 photoreceptor specification. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2011 Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and Notch (N) proteins are different types of transmembrane receptors that transduce extracellular signals and control cell fate.

STEREOLOGY AND SOME STRUCTURAL CORRELATES OF RETINAL AND PHOTORECEPTOR CELL FUNCTION
Image Analysis and Stereology, 2011 The retina is the part of the eye which detects light, transduces it into nerve impulses and plays a significant role in visual perception. Sensitivity to light is multi-factorial and depends on the properties of photopigment molecules, their synthesis ...
