Calcium sensor proteins are fundamental modulators of photoreceptor cell function, where they detect fluctuations in intracellular Ca²⁺ levels to finely tune the phototransduction cascade. These ...

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 ...

Afadin-deficient mice, whose outer-retinal lamination and photoreceptor synapses are severely disrupted, nonetheless partially retain retinal neural circuits and visual function.

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense. However, researchers at the Flaum Eye Institute and Del Monte Institute for ...
