… Photoreceptor responses (measured with the paired-flash method) of human ESCS patients’
S-cones were found to recover much more slowly than those of L/M-cones, and postmortem …

To quantify the rate at which light in a ganzfeld produces photoisomerizations in mouse rods
in situ, we measured the rate of rhodopsin bleaching in eyes of recently euthanized mice …

The retinas of mice null for the neural retina leucine zipper transcription factor (Nrl −/ − )
contain no rods but are populated instead with photoreceptors that on ultrastructural, …

Cone-rod dystrophy (CRD) is an inherited progressive retinal dystrophy affecting the function
of cone and rod photoreceptors. By autozygosity mapping, we identified null mutations in …

To meet the high-energy demands of photoreceptor cells, the outer retina metabolizes glucose
through glycolytic and oxidative pathways, resulting in large-scale production of lactate …

Junction adhesion molecules-A,-B, and-C (Jams) are cell surface glycoproteins that have
been shown to play an important role in the assembly and maintenance of tight junctions and …

RPE65, a protein expressed in cells of the retinal pigment epithelium of the eye, is essential
for the synthesis by isomerohydrolase of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of rod and cone …

Like other neurons, retinal cells utilize autophagic pathways to maintain cell homeostasis.
The mammalian retina relies on heterophagy and selective autophagy to efficiently degrade …

Mouse cone photoreceptors, like those of most mammals including humans, express cone
opsins derived from two ancient families: S-opsin (gene Opn1sw) and M-opsin (gene Opn1mw…

Photoreceptors consume glucose supplied by the choriocapillaris to support phototransduction
and outer segment (OS) renewal. Reduced glucose supply underlies photoreceptor cell …
