The transplanted human photoreceptor progenitors expressed mature markers and exhibited synaptic connectivity with the host's inner retina after 3 to 5 months post-transplantation. These findings ...

The Scientist: How can too much sunlight damage the eye? Ralph Chou: Light comes into the eye and goes through all the various layers of cells until it reaches the photoreceptors—essentially, the ...

confirming robust and efficient transduction of human photoreceptor-like cells by AAV vectors. The experiments demonstrated that a CAG-driven transgene transduced various cell types, whereas GRK1 ...

How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness or brightness is detected by ...

When light enters your eyes, it is absorbed by special cells called photoreceptors in your retina. There are two types of photoreceptors: rods, which are sensitive to light and dark, and cones ...

and the unique arrangement of photoreceptor cells in the human eye. Published in the journal eLife, the research provides new insights into how our visual system achieves remarkable clarity.
