Abstract: Impaired tissue oxygenation results in hypoxia and leads to the activation of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIF). A chronic, HIF-triggered molecular response to hypoxia may be an important factor in the etiology of age-related macular degeneration… read more here.

Abstract: PURPOSE To establish whether there is cone contribution to retinal function and structure in chinchillas (Chinchilla lanigera), in view of the prevailing notion that this species possesses a pure rod retina. METHODS Photopic electroretinography (ERG)… read more here.

Abstract: The topography of S-cones in the macula sets the neural constraints for coding the short-wavelength spectrum of color vision. We find that S-cones tile the central human retina with a non-random crystalline arrangement. This finding… read more here.
