MACULAR MICROSTRUCTURE CHANGES AFTER ENDOVITREAL MACULAR HOLE SURGERY

open access: yesОфтальмохирургия, 2015
Purpose. To study macular microstructural changes after idiopathic full-thickness macular hole (IMH) surgery.Material and methods. Fifty-seven eyes with IMH of 53 patients were examined by the spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Effect of molecular hydrogen, a novelly-established antioxidant, on the retinal degeneration of hereditary retinitis pigmentosa: an in-vivo study

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Objective Our research was performed in order to explore the effects of molecular hydrogen (H2), a novelly-established antioxidant, on the retinal degeneration in rd1 mice, an animal model of inherited retinitis pigmentosa (RP).Methods The rd1 mice were ...

Differentiation of Photoreceptors

open access: yes, 2021
Chapter 7 discusses how photoreceptors and other cells found in the retina of the vertebrate eye or in the pineal body differentiate. These cell types do not develop from cranial placodes but from the neural tube. However, part three of the book will reveal that these cell types are evolutionarily closely related to other sensory cell types (e.g ...

Photomorphogenic and Biochemical Effects of Radiation and Nitrate Availability on the Red Alga Plocamium cartilagineum

open access: yesPlants
Non-photosynthetic photoreceptors detecting different wavelength ranges in the UV and visible region of spectra may trigger algal acclimation and homeostasis. We studied Plocamium cartilagineum responses based on the saturation of photosynthesis by Amber

Underground roots monitor aboveground environment by sensing stem-piped light

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2016
Light is a critical environmental cue for plant growth and development. Plants actively monitor surrounding environments by sensing changes in light wavelength and intensity.

Secondary Photoreceptor Degenerations

open access: yes, 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 ...

In-Vivo Characterization of Healthy Retinal Pigment Epithelium and Photoreceptor Cells from AO-(T)FI Imaging

open access: yesVision
We provide an automated characterization of human retinal cells, i.e., RPE’s based on the non-invasive AO-TFI retinal imaging and PR’s based on the non-invasive AO-FI retinal imaging on a large-scale study involving 171 confirmed healthy eyes from 104 ...

Evolution of Photoreceptors

open access: yesCold 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 ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
