Limitations and Promise of Retinal Tissue From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells for Developing Therapies of Blindness

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
The self-formation of retinal tissue from pluripotent stem cells generated a tremendous promise for developing new therapies of retinal degenerative diseases, which previously seemed unattainable.

Pore Forming Properties of Cecropin-Melittin Hybrid Peptide in a Natural Membrane

open access: yesMolecules, 2009
The pore forming properties of synthetic cecropin-melittin hybrid peptide (Acetyl-KWKLFKKIGAVLKVL-CONH2; CM15) were investigated by using photoreceptor rod outer segments (OS) isolated from frog retinae obtained by using the whole-cell configuration of ...

Functionally Assessing the Age-Related Decline in the Detection Rate of Photons by Cone Photoreceptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021
Age-related decline in visual perception is usually attributed to optical factors of the eye and neural factors. However, the detection of light by cones converting light into neural signals is a crucial intermediate processing step of vision ...

The Stiles-Crawford Effect in the Eye of the Blowfly, Calliphora erythrocephala [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
Stiles-Crawford-like effects (that is, directional sensitivity of the retina) were investigated in the fly’s eye. Intracellular recordings from the visual sense cells were made, and the radiation patterns emerging from the photoreceptors with antidromic ...

Docosahexaenoic acid promotes photoreceptor differentiation without altering Crx expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
PURPOSE: The precise molecular cues required for photoreceptor development are still unknown. Pax6 and Crx are essential during early retinal development and for photoreceptor differentiation, respectively.
