Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye that convert light energy into neural signals. Several diseases that cause irreversible vision loss, including age-related macular degeneration, ...
A new understanding of retinal cell development may help pave the way for future retina transplants, which could restore ...

Blinding diseases lead to permanent vision loss by damaging photoreceptor cells, which humans cannot naturally regenerate. While researchers are working on new methods to replace or regenerate these ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic." Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science ...
Researchers have elucidated how a single photoreceptor in the pineal gland of zebrafish detects color. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, ...
(Left panels) Cone mosaic pattern in adult zebrafish showing a lattice-like regular arrangement of four cone cell types. (Right panels) Cone mosaic pattern in fish lacking the Dscamb gene on either or ...
