Cilia in Nervous System Development, Function, and Disease
MedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.Cilia are evolutionarily conserved organelles that function as essential sensory and motility platforms in the nervous system. This review outlines key cilia‐dependent signaling pathways and their roles in neural development and function. Furthermore, it highlights how ciliary dysfunction can lead to a variety of neurological disorders, known as ...

Models of Phototransduction in Rod Photoreceptors
, 2008 Phototransduction is the process by which photons of light generate an electrical response in retinal rod and cone photoreceptors, thereby initiating vision. We compare the electrical response in salamander rods from increasingly more (spacialy) detailed

, 1997 Whereas the pineal organs of lower vertebrates have been shown to be photosensitive, photic regulation of pineal function in adult mammals is thought be mediated entirely by retinal photoreceptors.

, 2021 Homeobox genes encode transcription factors controlling development; however, a number of homeobox genes are expressed postnatally specifically in melatonin-producing pinealocytes of the pineal gland and photoreceptors of the retina along with ...

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 6, June 2026.The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex (EMC) is an evolutionarily conserved, multi‐subunit transmembrane protein complex crucial to membrane protein biogenesis and cellular protein quality control. This review systematically examines the structure, functions and disease‐associated regulatory mechanisms of EMC across multiple organ systems ...

Phototransduction in human cones measured using the a-wave of the ERG
, 1995 To study human cone phototransduction, the a-wave of the ERG was recorded from color normals, dichromats, and patients with retinitis pigmentosa. A model of the activation phase of phototransduction, previously fitted to responses from single rods and ...

A supramolecular assembly of cone‐specific G‐protein and cryptochrome 4a on lipid bilayer
The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 11, Page 3362-3375, June 2026.Immobilized phospholipid bilayers on a sensor chip surface serve as membrane platform to investigate critical protein–lipid and protein–protein interaction processes by surface plasmon resonance. The putative magnetoreceptor cryptochrome 4a and the myristoylated cone‐specific G‐protein α‐subunit (Gtα) bind with high affinity to immobilized lipid ...

The hidden science of haptics: A pedagogical review of tactile evaluation in cosmetics
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 600-634, June 2026.This review explores the physiological basis of tactile perception and critically examines classical and emerging sensory methods used in cosmetics, advocating for broader methodological integration and recognition of sensory analysis in the field. Abstract Sensory analysis is a cornerstone of cosmetic development, yet remains underrepresented in peer ...
