How a membrane lipid tunes the eye’s response to light
PIP2 binds to rod CNG channels and prevents cGMP-dependent channel opening, increasing rod sensitivity to dim light. Cations (blue), cGMP (light blue), and PIP2 (orange) are represented as spheres. See
Scientists identify the gatekeeper of retinal progenitor cell identity
The retina is a thin layer of neural tissue at the back of the eye that detects light and converts it into signals, sent to the brain. During development, all
Flexible organic electrodes convert infrared light into nerve signals in damaged retinas
In an important step toward visual prostheses, biocompatible electrodes can convert infrared light into nerve impulses, as demonstrated by a team at TU Wien. Source link
