The team noted high expression of RA synthesis genes early in human retinal organoid development that decreased over time, similar to what occurs in zebrafish. To test whether RA promoted M or L cones ...

The retina is home to two different kinds of light receptor cells—rods and cones. (Both are named after their relative shapes.) Cones work in bright light and register detail, while rods work in ...

Dogs see differently than humans. The reason lies within the eye. In the eye are light receptors called cones and rods. Cones help us distinguish different colors, while rods help us see in dim light.

A study published yesterday (December 7) in Science Translational Medicine unravels part of this mystery: The researchers conclude that in mice, this green light analgesia is mediated mainly by cones, ...

Inside the retina, there are millions of special sense receptors called rods and cones. The rods see the shapes of things, picking out black, white and shades of grey, and the cones see the ...

Furthermore, cells cultured with thyroid hormone and 9-cis retinoic acid together exhibited an even stronger cone genesis effect. Hence, the authors conclude, retinal progenitor cells under ...

In wild-type, retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), and nuclear layers of rod and cone photoreceptors are distinct, and rod outer segment (OS ...
