Inherited mutations in the rod visual pigment, rhodopsin, cause the degenerative blinding
condition, retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Over 150 different mutations in rhodopsin have been …

To serve vision, vertebrate rod and cone photoreceptors must detect photons, convert the
light stimuli into cellular signals, and then convey the encoded information to downstream …

The design of flow processes to build a macroscopic bulk material from rod-shaped colloidal
particles has drawn considerable attention from researchers and engineers. Here, we …

Purpose To determine the thickness of the fovea in eyes of children with anisohypermetropic
amblyopia, their fellow eyes and eyes of age-matched controls. Additionally, to assess the …

The P23H mutation in rhodopsin (RhoP23H) is a prevalent cause of autosomal dominant
retinitis pigmentosa. We examined the role of the ER stress proteins, Chop and Ask1, in …

Vision under dim light relies on primary cilia elaborated by rod photoreceptors in the retina.
This specialized sensory structure, called the rod outer segment (ROS), comprises hundreds …

Autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa is a form of retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited retinal
degenerative disorder characterized by progressive loss of photoreceptors eventually …

The rod outer segment (OS), comprised of tightly stacked disk membranes packed with
rhodopsin, is in a dynamic equilibrium governed by a diurnal rhythm with newly synthesized …

We developed an inducible transgene expression system in Xenopus rod photoreceptors.
Using a transgene containing mCherry fused to the carboxyl terminus of rhodopsin (Rho …

The retina is a light-sensitive layer is structured at the plane outer segments of an array of
millions of individual nano-antennas. Apparently, the retina is one of the best known …
