Abstract: While rods in the mammalian retina regenerate rhodopsin through a well-characterized pathway in cells of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), cone visual pigments are thought to regenerate in part through an additional pathway in Müller… read more here.

Abstract: The main goal of this study was to clarify whether the spectral properties of retinal photoreceptors reflect the features of behaviour of closely related fish species cohabiting shallow marine and fresh waters. The spectral sensitivity… read more here.
