In a recent study, Steven J. Pittler, PhD, examined rod cell proteins GARP1 and GARP2 to learn how they function in retinal degeneration, using optical coherence tomography, or OCT. First, Pittler and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
