Secondary Photoreceptor Degenerations

, 2010
Secondary photoreceptor degenerations can be partially distinguished from primary photoreceptor degenerations based upon whether or not correction of the defect in the photoreceptors themselves would be sufficient to arrest photoreceptor death. The distinction is by no means perfect, since there can be genetic mutations that affect directly the ...

Integrating tunable LED‐induced plant responses with novel solar cell technologies for energy‐efficient agrivoltaic systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The increasing demand for sustainable food production requires innovative solutions that balance productivity, resource efficiency, and environmental impact. Vertical Farming Systems (VFSs) offer a promising approach; however, their high energy consumption remains challenging.

Evolution of Photoreceptors

Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 1965
This essay will endeavor to demonstrate the relevance to photoreceptors of the Darwinian dictum: descent with modification. Considering the critical importance of radiant energy for almost all living organisms, it may be assumed that organelles adapted for activation by photons arose very early, perhaps not long after the evolution of the cell itself ...

Opportunities for 2D‐Material‐Based Multifunctional Devices and Systems in Bioinspired Neural Networks

Small, EarlyView.
Bio‐inspired computing offers a route to highly energy‐efficient artificial intelligence. The unique physical properties of two‐dimensional (2D) materials can further enhance such computing approaches. This perspective highlights recent developments in 2D materials‐based neuromorphic devices and discusses future opportunities for integrating such novel

Functional insights into the photoactive yellow protein family from homologs, multidomain proteins, and inferred pyp operons

Journal of Bacteriology
Photoactive Yellow Protein (PYP) is a model system for functional protein dynamics and a prototype of the PAS domain superfamily. It is a bacterial photoreceptor that triggers a range of responses in different bacteria: phototaxis, biosynthesis of photo ...

Photodegradable Hydrogels for On‐Demand Modeling of Age‐Related Spatiotemporal ECM Deformation

Small, EarlyView.
A light‐tunable PEG hydrogel enables on‐demand, spatiotemporal modeling of drusen‐like ECM bulges in the aging outer retina. By precisely controlling bulge size, the platform reveals how retinal pigment epithelium morphology adapts to topographical changes without disrupting actin cytoskeleton or polarity, effectively mimicking early ageing before ...

A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor constructed by photodeformable liquid crystal polymers and its application in vision restoration

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor with high stability and biocompatibility was fabricated by integrating liquid crystal polymers with polyvinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene. This device exhibits robust photoelectric responses under low‐intensity illumination and demonstrates efficacy in restoring visual responses in blind rats following ...

The Employment of Hydrogen Peroxide in Water Disinfection Poses a Threat to Aquatic Ecosystems Because of Its Toxicity to Nontarget Organisms

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in water and wastewater treatment, particularly in advanced oxidation processes that aid in the degradation of compounds and microbial disinfection. Despite concerns about potential environmental contamination, its impact on freshwater ecosystems remains inadequately studied.

Oxidative Damage, Energy Imbalance, and Behavioral Disruptions in Girardia tigrina Exposed to Treated Sewage Effluents

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the ecotoxicological effects of treated sewage on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, integrating biochemical, energetic, and behavioral biomarkers. Planarians were exposed for 48 h to different concentrations of treated sewage (12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%) and compared to controls using commercial water and water from

Low‐contrast visual acuity versus low‐luminance visual acuity in choroideremia

Clinical and Experimental Optometry, EarlyView., 2020
Clinical relevance Choroideremia is a progressive X‐linked inherited rod‐cone dystrophy. Patients present with nyctalopia and progressive visual field loss, but visual acuity remains well preserved early on. This study showed that low‐luminance visual acuity may be a useful clinical outcome measure during earlier disease stages.
