This is because our cone cells function best in relatively bright light. Other cells in our eyes, called rod cells, help us see in dim light. But because rod cells only have a single light-sensitive ...

This nuclear architecture is inverted in rod cells of nocturnal mammals, demonstrating a unique functional nuclear genome reorganization specifically adapted for light transmission. Solovei used ...

The eye’s rod cells (the receptors ideal for low-light conditions) activate as darkness creeps in. The cone cells, on the other hand (known for their ability to recieve color in the daylight ...

3. The muscles that control your eyes are the most active muscles in your body. 4. Concentrated at the outer edges of the retina, rod cells are involved in peripheral vision. They are far more ...

Shihabeddin et al utilized single-cell RNA-Seq analysis of adult P23H zebrafish animals to identify transcription factors (e2fs, Prdm1a, Sp1) expressed selectively in neural progenitors and immature ...
