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, ...

Scientists have managed to 'reverse death' by bringing body part back to life ...

Researchers found photoreceptor cells can recover from apoptosis if stress signals are removed. Functional mitochondria and mitophagy helped restore cell health, suggesting potential strategies to ...

Brown University researchers have found a new cell in the eye that acts as a photoreceptor – like a rod or cone – and sets the body’s circadian clock. Brown University researchers have found a new ...

Tylor Lewis, Ph.D., assistant professor in the UAB Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, is a cell and developmental biologist whose research centers on the mechanisms that drive inherited ...

Research reveals a promising stem cell approach to correct photoreceptor cell degeneration, which underlies several forms of visual decline and blindness. A preclinical study using stem cells to ...

Zebrafish are known to detect color and brightness with the pineal gland, which is part of the brain. How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes ...
