The specialised retinas of some nocturnal coral fish result in faster vision and greater sensitivity to dim and bright light. The same adaptation may enable deep-sea animals to see in darkness. Fish ...

Eighty years of microscopy have established a conventional view of nuclear organization: dark-staining heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery and light-staining euchromatin in the interior. This ...

Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain retinal cells can rewire themselves when vision begins to deteriorate in ...

Scientists have shed light on an important component of the eye: a protein in the rod cells of the retina which helps us see in dim light. Acting as an ion channel in the cell membrane, the protein is ...

Fossilized rod and cone cells — the kinds that help people see — have been discovered for the first time, researchers say. The finding reveals that such eye cells have existed for at least 300 million ...

Scientists at the Jules Stein Eye Institute at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA have discovered that certain retinal cells can rewire themselves when vision begins to deteriorate in ...

Researchers have characterized the three-dimensional structure of the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) ion channels that help us see in dim light, hoping this will lead the way to new medical treatments.
