During the first postnatal weeks of the developing rodent retina, rhodopsin can be detected in a number of neuron-like cells in the inner retina. In the present study, we aim to characterize the morphology, number ...

PURPOSE: Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 immunoreactivity (IR) was examined in normal untreated retina and in retinal explants after in vitro treatment with stress agents. METHODS: Enucleated eyes from young adult C3H mice were ...

This review summarizes our present state of knowledge about spectrally different photoreceptor cell types in the Xenopus retina. The classification of the photoreceptors was based on morphology, combined with immunolabelling ...

Strepsirrhines are of considerable interest for understanding the evolution of cone photoreceptors because they represent the most ancestral living primates. The retina of nocturnal Strepsirrhines is reported to contain a ...
