Novel role for the innate immune receptor toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the regulation of the wnt signaling pathway and photoreceptor apoptosis [PDF]
, 2012 Recent evidence has implicated innate immunity in regulating neuronal survival in the brain during stroke and other neurodegenerations. Photoreceptors are specialized light-detecting neurons in the retina that are essential for vision.

Impact of photoreceptor density in a 3D simulation of panretinal laser photocoagulation
BMC Ophthalmology, 2021 Background During panretinal photocoagulation (PRP), the outer retina, especially the photoreceptors, are destroyed. During such procedures, the impact of the retinal photocoagulation, which is performed in the same photocoagulated area, may change if it

Data on mitochondrial ultrastructure of photoreceptors in pig, rabbit, and mouse retinas
Data in Brief, 2020 Photoreceptors are one of the most energy-consuming cell types within the human body. To meet their high energy demand, photoreceptors possess a mitochondrial cluster in the inner segment of the cell.

Disrupting the ciliary gradient of active Arl3 affects rod photoreceptor nuclear migration
eLife, 2023 The small GTPase Arl3 is important for the enrichment of lipidated proteins to primary cilia, including the outer segment of photoreceptors. Human mutations in the small GTPase Arl3 cause both autosomal recessive and dominant inherited retinal ...
