Here, we used deep full-length single-cell RNA-sequencing to distinguish post-mitotic cone and rod developmental states and cone-specific features that contribute to retinoblastomagenesis. The ...

In view of the oxygen-rich environment in the eye, it is particularly noteworthy that phospholipids containing docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are exquisitely sensitive to oxidative damage (1), are ...

Instead of a film, you have a retina in the back, with photoreceptor cells, and this makes the eye a very fascinating organ. Furthermore, various animal groups have evolved very different types of ...

Trilobites lived between 521 and 252 million years ago. They were one of the first groups of creatures to develop complex, compound eyes, where many individual lenses focus light onto groups of ...

This disrupts normal cell metabolism, leading to the death of photoreceptor cells and, eventually, geographic atrophy, which causes irreversible vision loss. Wet macular degeneration accounts for ...

Brand new work from the laboratory of Michel Cayouette, Director of the Cellular Neurobiology Research Unit at the Montreal ...

Bees actually have five eyes: two compound eyes and three simple eyes, called ocelli. The two compound eyes are those huge ...
