Ultraviolet Superradiance from Mega-Networks of Tryptophan in Biological Architectures

Majed Chergui, Katrin Elisabeth Oberhofer

Networks of tryptophan (Trp)& horbar;an aromatic amino acid with strong fluorescence response & horbar;are ubiquitous in biological systems, forming diverse architectures in transmembrane proteins, cytoskeletal filaments, subneuronal elements, photorecepto ...

Neuroprotection in the Retina: From Preventing Inflammatory Cell Death to Promoting Vascular Stability in the Central Nervous System

Bokyoung Kim

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Glaucoma is defined clinically as the presence of optic nerve head (ONH) degeneration and progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Intra-ocular pressure (IOP) has been con ...

Distinct ultrastructural phenotypes of glial and neuronal alpha-synuclein inclusions in multiple system atrophy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Amanda Jennifer Lewis, Marta Di Fabrizio, Domenic Burger, Carolin Böing

Multiple System Atrophy is characterized pathologically by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) into glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs). The mechanism underlying the formation of GCIs is not well understood. In this study, correlative light and elec ...

Neuronal migration prevents spatial competition in retinal morphogenesis

Martin Weigert

The concomitant occurrence of tissue growth and organization is a hallmark of organismal development(1-3). This often means that proliferating and differentiating cells are found at the same time in a continuously changing tissue environment. How cells ada ...

Colloidal self-assembly of soft neural interfaces from injectable photovoltaic microdevices

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Zhangjun Huang, Murat Kaynak, Haiyan Jia

Biomimetic retinas with a wide field of view and high resolution are in demand for neuroprosthetics and robot vision. Conventional neural prostheses are manufactured outside the application area and implanted as a complete device using invasive surgery. He ...

IS THERE AN EFFECT OF MACULAR PIGMENT DENSITY ON DISCOMFORT GLARE IN INDOOR DAYLIGHT CONDITIONS?

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Caroline Karmann, Sneha Jain

Discomfort glare from daylight can lower productivity and hinder effective use of daylight in buildings. Existing glare prediction models have limitations in accounting for the large inter-individual differences, mainly due to unknown physiological factors ...

Associations between in vitro, in vivo and in silico cell classes in mouse primary visual cortex

Werner Alfons Hilda Van Geit, Anatoly Buchin

The brain consists of many cell classes yet in vivo electrophysiology recordings are typically unable to identify and monitor their activity in the behaving animal. Here, we employed a systematic approach to link cellular, multi-modal in vitro properties f ...

Continuous Simulation Data Stream: A dynamical timescale-dependent output scheme for simulations

Loïc Hausammann, Matthieu Schaller

Exa-scale simulations are on the horizon but almost no new design for the output has been proposed in recent years. In simulations using individual time steps, the traditional snapshots are over resolving particles/cells with large time steps and are under ...

POLYRETINA restores light responses in vivo in blind Gottingen minipigs

Diego Ghezzi, Marta Jole Ildelfonsa Airaghi Leccardi, Paola Vagni, Elodie Geneviève Zollinger, Charles-Henri Puncho Jérôme Vila, Golnaz Sherafatipour

Retinal prostheses hold potential for artificial vision in blind people. Here, authors show that POLYRETINA, a large and high-density photovoltaic epiretinal device, restores light-evoked cortical responses in blind Gottingen minipigs at safe irradiance le ...

Incomplete Recovery of Zebrafish Retina Following Cryoinjury

Dylan Lawless

Zebrafish show an extraordinary potential for regeneration in several organs from fins to central nervous system. Most impressively, the outcome of an injury results in a near perfect regeneration and a full functional recovery. Indeed, among the various i ...
