In vivo imaging of the human eye using a 2-photon-excited fluorescence scanning laser ophthalmoscope
The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022 Background Noninvasive assessment of metabolic processes that sustain regeneration of human retinal visual pigments (visual cycle) is essential to improve ophthalmic diagnostics and to accelerate development of new treatments to counter retinal diseases.

Rapid adaptive evolution of colour vision in the threespine stickleback radiation. [PDF]
, 2016 Vision is a sensory modality of fundamental importance for many animals, aiding in foraging, detection of predators and mate choice. Adaptation to local ambient light conditions is thought to be commonplace, and a match between spectral sensitivity and ...

Carotenoid Biosynthesis in Fusarium
Journal of Fungi, 2017 Many fungi of the genus Fusarium stand out for the complexity of their secondary metabolism. Individual species may differ in their metabolic capacities, but they usually share the ability to synthesize carotenoids, a family of hydrophobic terpenoid ...

Familial grouped pigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium. [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1988 Grouped pigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium was found in a father and his son. They had a normal resting potential on the electro-oculogram, but the son had a lower normal light rise. We believe this is the first description of familial grouped pigmentation.

Visual Responses in Mice Lacking Critical Components of All Known Retinal Phototransduction Cascades [PDF]
, 2010 The mammalian visual system relies upon light detection by outer-retinal rod/cone photoreceptors and melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells. Gnat1(-/-); Cnga3(-/-); Opn4(-/-) mice lack critical elements of each of these photoreceptive mechanisms ...

Evolution and mechanism of spectral tuning of Blue-absorbing visual pigments in butterflies [PDF]
, 2010 The eyes of flower-visiting butterflies are often spectrally highly complex with multiple opsin genes generated by gene duplication, providing an interesting system for a comparative study of color vision.

Bilateral conjunctival melanocytosis and retinitis pigmentosa
Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology and Research, 2019 Conjunctival pigmented lesions have varied appearances. It arises from the melanocytic or nonmelanocytes. It is rare to find conjunctival melanocytosis associated with retinal pigmentary dystrophy.

Persistent activation of transducin by bleached rhodopsin in salamander rods. [PDF]
, 1996 The hydrolysis-resistant GTP analogue GTP-gamma-S was introduced into rods isolated from the retina of the salamander Ambystoma tigrinum to study the origin of the persistent excitation induced by intense bleaching illumination.
