Ocular development is controlled by a complex network of transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, and diffusible signaling molecules. Together, these molecules regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis and specify retinal fate. In the zebrafish (Danio re ...
Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is a heterogeneous retinal disorder characterized by visual impairment under low light conditions. This disorder is due to a signal transmission defect from rod photoreceptors to adjacent bipolar cells in the re ...
Although Schyzosaccharomyces pombe is one of the principal model organisms for studying the cell cycle, surprisingly few methods have characterized S. pombe growth on the single cell level, and no methods exist capable of analyzing thousands of cells and t ...
The MAPK family is composed of three majors kinases, JNK, p38 and ERK1/2, and is implicated in many degenerative processes, including retinal cell death. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the activation of ERK1/2 kinase, and its potential role in Mu ...
Purpose: Sight restoration is one of the new frontiers for prosthetic devices that enable the electrical stimulation of neurons. In particular, diseases that affect the retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors but preserve the inner retinal layers are ...
Interfacing organic electronics and biology offers new possibilities in biotechnology, due to the unique properties exhibited by organic conducting polymers (e.g. biological affinity, mechanical flexibility, ease of functionalization and cost effectiveness ...

We investigated the anti-angiogenic properties of GNX-686, a newly identified maleimide-based small molecule. In vitro studies on HUVEC showed that GNX-686 inhibited cell growth with an ED50 of 20-25 mu M, while human HeLa tumor cells and non-transformed e ...

Since 2002, when the first reports on the discovery of a novel type of mammalian ocular photoreceptor were published, a new field of study at the intersection of photobiology and architecture started to emerge. These novel non-rod, non-cone photoreceptors ...
