Retinas in all mammals, from mouse to man, are made up of light-sensitive cells known as cones and rods, named for their shapes, which convert light into nerve signals that are then transmitted to ...

We can see about a million different colours Most humans are trichromats, which means our eyes have three different types of cone cells: red, green or blue, able to detect about 100 shades each.

“Cones are particularly interesting as the cell type that matters most for our daily operation in color vision,” said Rui Chen, a molecular geneticist at Baylor College of Medicine who was not ...

Researchers report they have used retinal cone photoreceptors derived from human stem cells to restore vision in mice with advanced retinal degeneration. They are now designing a clinical trial to ...

a prey of cone snails. Cs1 is a toxin known to block potassium channels—essential gateways for cell function—and has a potent effect on fruit flies and other insects but doesn't impact mammals ...
