VIEW, EarlyView.Abstract Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative retinal disorder and a leading cause of global visual impairment, yet effective treatments remain limited. While gastritis is a prevalent clinical condition among older populations and has been associated with adverse effects on the central nervous system, its potential association with ...

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.A compact on‐axis microscope installed on the endstation of the macromolecular crystallography beamline BM07 at the ESRF is described. The system combines dual‐magnification on‐axis sample visualization with on‐axis laser injection and fluorescence measurements in back‐scattering geometry.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Male weaponry evolution is often linked to male–male competition, but its relationship with breeding site type remains unclear. Using Leptodactylinae frogs, we found a macroevolutionary correlation between breeding site type and weapon evolution. Also, gains and losses of weapons occurred more frequently in exposed‐breeding sites, an unexpected finding.

Dorsal Crypsis and Chemical Defense Jointly Shape Brain Size in Toads
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that total brain size and dorsal crypsis under both ultraviolet‐sensitive (UVS) and violet‐sensitive (VS) tetrachromatic bird visual models were negatively associated across eight species of toads. Our findings suggest that when species reduce predation risk by evolving increased dorsal crypsis, they may exhibit decreased brain size due to ...

Human Rhodopsin: A Fresh View [PDF]
, 2014 This work examines the microsecond and millisecond photochemistry of human rhodopsin. There have been significant advances in the mechanistic and structural understanding of bovine rhodopsin over the last two decades that have not been applied to human ...

Rhodopsin expression in mice with various numbers of rhodopsin genes.
, 2013 (A) Northern blot analysis of rhodopsin mRNA from various mouse lines. Copy numbers of wild type rhodopsin and P23H-rhodopsin genes are indicated below each lane, where mRho 0 is mRho−/−, mRho 1 is mRho+/−, mRho 2 is mRho+/+, and mRho 0 NHRE 2 is mRho ...

Recombination between rhodopsin and locus D3S47 (C17) in rhodopsin retinitis pigmentosa families
, 1992 Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) has shown linkage to the chromosome 3q marker C17 (D3S47) in two large adRP pedigrees known as TCDM1 and adRP3.

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora
