"Women can experience color blindness, but it's quite rare and is usually caused by something other than genetics," Abugo ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the “cone mosaic”. Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense.

Enlargement of cone cell size in the mouse model of RP accompanies their necrosis-mediated cell death. Rd10 mice are an animal model of RP caused by a missense mutation in the Pde6β gene. 16 ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns known as the "cone mosaic." Researchers at the Okinawa Institute of ...

Humans see color thanks to cone cells, specialized light-sensing neurons located in the retina along the inner surface of the eyeball. The actual light-sensing section of these cells is called the ...

The researchers' study said that in normal vision, "any light that stimulates an M cone cell must also stimulate its neighboring L and/or S cones" because its function overlaps with them.

The researchers published their study in the journal Science Advances on April 18. But how does it work? Here's what you need to know. Wavelengths in your eyes. There are three types of cone cells ...

Cone cell death is induced by the microenviromental changes subsequent to rod degeneration, such as oxidation, inflammation and loss of trophic factors.

Through Oz’s technology of pinpointing light to target cone cells, Roorda and Ng’s team have developed a way to study eye diseases by examining how the eye can function when there’s been a ...
