Cell transplantation as a treatment for retinal disease
It has been shown that photoreceptor degeneration can be limited in experimental animals
by transplantation of fresh RPE to the subretinal space. There is also evidence that retinal …

Regulation of mammalian circadian behavior by non-rod, non-cone, ocular photoreceptors
Circadian rhythms of mammals are entrained by light to follow the daily solar cycle
(photoentrainment). To determine whether retinal rods and cones are required for this …

Restoration of visual function in retinal degeneration mice by ectopic expression of melanopsin
The rod and cone cells of the mammalian retina are the principal photoreceptors for image-
forming vision. They transmit information by means of a chain of intermediate cells to the …

Remodeling of cone photoreceptor cells after rod degeneration in rd mice
We studied the survival of cone photoreceptors following the degeneration of rods in the rd
mouse. Cones were visualized by selective expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) …

Melanopsin and inner retinal photoreception
HJ Bailes, RJ Lucas - Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2010 - Springer
Over the last ten years there has been growing acceptance that retinal photoreception
among mammals extends beyond rods and cones to include a small number of intrinsically …

Aging alters the rhythmic expression of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide mRNA but not arginine vasopressin mRNA in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of female rats
K Krajnak, ML Kashon, KL Rosewell… - Journal of …, 1998 - jneurosci.org
Our laboratory has shown that the ability of the suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN) to regulate a
number of rhythmic processes may be compromised by the time females reach middle age …

Dissecting a role for melanopsin in behavioural light aversion reveals a response independent of conventional photoreception
M Semo, C Gias, A Ahmado, E Sugano, AE Allen… - PloS one, 2010 - journals.plos.org
Melanopsin photoreception plays a vital role in irradiance detection for non-image forming
responses to light. However, little is known about the involvement of melanopsin in …
