In-vivo imaging of the eye's fundus is widely used to study eye's health. State of the art Adaptive Optics devices can resolve features up to a lateral resolution of 1.5 um. This resolution is still above what is needed to observe subcellular structures su ...
The first evidence for a novel type of photoreceptor in humans was published in the form of an action spectrum for melatonin suppression. This action spectrum has very different spectral sensitivities compared to rod and cone photoreceptors. This discovery ...
Purpose: To study the influence of retinal structural changes on oxygen saturation in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patients. Methods: Oximetry measurements were performed on 21 eyes of 11 RP patients and compared to 24 eyes of 12 controls. Retinal oxygen satu ...
Hereditary retinal degenerations encompass a group of genetic diseases characterized by extreme clinical variability. Following next-generation sequencing and autozygome-based screening of patients presenting with a peculiar, recessive form of cone-dominat ...
Replacement strategies arise as promising approaches in case of inherited retinal dystrophies leading to blindness. A fully organic retinal prosthesis made of conjugated polymers layered onto a silk fibroin substrate is engineered. First, the biophysical a ...
Background: Accurate reconstruction of the morphology of single neurons is important for morphometric studies and for developing compartmental models. However, manual morphological reconstruction can be extremely time-consuming and error-prone and algorith ...
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are key regulators that have been linked to cell survival and death. Among the main classes of MAPKs, c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) has been shown to mediate cell stress responses associated with apoptosis. In Vitr ...
Progressive degeneration of photoreceptors is one of the major causes of adult blindness in “industrialized” countries; as an example, Retinitis pigmentosa defines a set of monogenic hereditary retinal diseases, with a prevalence of 1:4000 worldwide, cause ...
NR2E3 encodes the photoreceptor-specific nuclear hormone receptor that acts as a repressor of cone-specific gene expression in rod photoreceptors, and as an activator of several rod-specific genes. Recessive variants located in the ligand-binding domain (L ...
This paper describes a climate-based simulation framework devised to investigate the potential for the non-visual effects of daylight in buildings. It is part 2 of a study where the first paper focused on the formulation of the photobiological underpinning ...
