Sentences with phrase «rod type cells»

Not exact matches

Building on the evidence that microglia were in play during injury, the researchers conducted tests in zebrafish with the specialized enzyme incorporated into both rod cells and microglial cells, removing both cell types to ask what role microglia play during regeneration.

Last year, Robin Ali of University College London and colleagues demonstrated that immature retina cells from newborn mice could form rod cells — a type of light - gathering cell — that wire into the retinas of night - blind adult mice (SN: 5/19/12, p. 13).

As it turns out, the missing link was a previously unknown type of light - sensitive cell in the human eye, distinct from the familiar rods and cones that are responsible, respectively, for night and color vision.

«We've provided evidence that by acquiring the regulatory elements for NRL to shift short - wavelength cones into rods, early mammals changed one type of cell from capturing UV light — which isn't necessary at night — to something that is just extremely sensitive to light.»

In wild - type, retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner nuclear layer (INL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), and nuclear layers of rod and cone photoreceptors are distinct, and rod outer segment (OS) is observed at the outer-most layer of the retina.

Molecular markers for retinal ganglion, amacrine, bipolar, horizontal, Müller glia, and rod and cone photoreceptor cells (Table S3) identified these cell types (Figures 5B, 5D — 5N, and S2, S3, S4, S5, S6).

Stem cell research is helping scientists understand how the different cell types in the retina function together, which has led to exploring ways to replace both rods and cones and the supporting RPE cells.

The retina consists of two types of cells: cones and rods.

Whole genome sequence data of the mutants with altered cell shape, directed mutants, wild type stocks and isolated helical and rod - shaped «wild type» C. jejuni, identified a number of different mutations in pgp1 and pgp2, which result in a change in helical to rod bacterial cell shape.

These are specialised cells that contain pigments that absorb light, and there are two types of receptors: cones and rods.

Two types of cells are involved in light reception, rods and cones.

Rod Cone Dysplasia Type 1b (rcd1b), previously named CRD1, is an early - onset form of retinal degeneration that is characterized by the loss of rods and cones, the cells in the retina that are responsible for vision.

The retina contains 2 types of cells — rods and cones.

In this type of PRA the rod and cone cells of the retina develop normally but gradually degenerate.
