Müller glial cells induce stem cell properties in retinal progenitors in vitro and promote their further differentiation into photoreceptors
(Wiley, 2012-10-04)
Using stem cells to replace lost neurons is a promising strategy for treating retinal neurodegenerative diseases. Among their multiple functions, Müller glial cells are retina stem cells, with a robust regenerative potential ...
Diacylglycerol kinase epsilon in bovine and rat photoreceptor cells. Light-dependent distribution in photoreceptor cells.
(Academic Press Ltd-elsevier Science Ltd, 2013-04)
The present study shows the selective light-dependent distribution of 1,2-diacylglycerol kinase epsilon (DAGK3) in photoreceptor cells from bovine and albino rat retina. Immunofluorescence microscopy in isolated rod outer ...
Horizontal cells expressing melanopsin x are novel photoreceptors in the avian inner retina
(National Academy of Sciences, 2016-11)
In the vertebrate retina, three types of photoreceptors - visual photoreceptor cones and rods and the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) - converged through evolution to detect light and regulate ...
Illuminating the inner retina of vertebrates: Nonvisual photopigments with novel functions
(Centro de Estudios sobre Ciencia, Desarrollo y Educacion Superior, 2020-12)
Throughout evolution, the need to detect light has generated highly specialized photoreceptor cells that in vertebrates are mainly located in the retina. The most studied photodetectors within these cells are the visual ...
A novel light-dependent activation of DAGK and PKC in bovine photoreceptor nuclei
(Academic Press Ltd-elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-06)
In this work, we describe a selective light-dependent distribution of the lipid kinase 1,2-diacylglycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.107, DAGK) and the phosphorylated protein kinase C alpha (pPKCalpha) in a nuclear fraction of ...
Light pollution: The possible consequences of excessive illumination on retina
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-02)
Light is the visible part of the electromagnetic radiation within a range of 380-780 nm; (400-700 on primates retina). In vertebrates, the retina is adapted to capturing light photons and transmitting this information to ...
Melanopsin and the Non-visual Photochemistry in the Inner Retina of Vertebrates
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-01)
Melanopsin (Opn4), a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family, is a Vitamin A-based opsin in the vertebrate retina that has been shown to be involved in the synchronization of circadian rhythms, pupillary light ...
Temporal and spatial expression of Drosophila DLGS97 during neural development
(ELSEVIER, 2008-07)
The products of the Drosophila discs-large (dlg) gene are members of the MAGUK family of proteins, a group of proteins involved in localization, transport and recycling Of receptors and channels in cell junctions, including ...
Light Activation of the Phosphoinositide Cycle in Intrinsically Photosensitive Chicken Retinal Ganglion Cells
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2010-11-10)
Purpose: In vertebrates, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) acting as nonvisual photoreceptors transmit environmental illumination information to the brain, regulating diverse non–image-forming ...
