This study also offers valuable insights into the molecular mechanism underlying the function of these ChRs, including the roles of specific residues in the retinal-binding pocket ... mutations of the ...

Color vision evolved to support survival and social needs. Today, it influences how we think, feel, and navigate the world, bridging biological function with emotional experience.

Primates broke this mold. Through gene duplication—specifically of opsin genes that code for light-sensitive proteins in the retina—primates, including humans, regained trichromatic vision ...

Those together refract light onto the retina and forms an image ... In squid, we don't have different opsin types. We have one opsin, the image will be essentially a grayscale image.

Wenzhou Medical University and collaborating institutions have identified a population of human neural retinal stem-like cells able to regenerate retinal tissue and support visual recovery.

Background Mutations in the L/M cone opsin gene array cause abnormally high perceived retinal contrast and the development of myopia. Environmental factors may also lead to high visual contrast and ...
