In addition to rod photoreceptor loss, many mutations in rod photoreceptor-specific genes cause degeneration of other neuronal types. Identifying mechanisms of cell–cell interactions initiated by ...

Share on Pinterest New research involving cones and rods in the retina could lead to new treatments for vision loss. Gregory Adams/Getty Images Cone photoreceptors in retinal degeneration have been ...

New UCLA research in mice suggests that "dormant" cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina are not dormant at all, but continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal ...

A: Zebrafish retinas at 3 days-post-fertilization (dpf). The neural retina consists of six major classes of neurons including two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. B: Rod and cone ...

“The non-invasive in vivo optical imaging of rhodopsin activation extends the diagnostic capability of ORG and may facilitate ...

A 291-day-old retina organoid. Red and green cone photoreceptors appear green, blue cone photorectors appear blue, and rod photoreceptors appear red. Scientists have grown simplified human retinas ...

In patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), crucial cells in the retina known as rods and cones die over time; night ...

Note: The video above shows a three-dimensional rotating view of three different cell types in the retina. The Campana cell (center) is shown flanked by two other cell classes that it is similar to, a ...

Light-sensitive cells in the retina come in two main types: rods and cones. Rods are used for vision at low light and cones for color and bright light. A study in the September issue of the Journal of ...

A new gene therapy for one of the most common forms of congenital blindness was safe and improved patients' vision, according to initial data from a clinical trial. A new gene therapy for one of the ...
