1The smile will succeed the frown; the balm will follow the rod.
2And for a great street rod, you'll need thousands of those hours.
3Hubbard picked the rod up tenderly and put it in the canoe.
4Fit the collars tightly on the rod to hold them in place.
5My staff and rod, needless to say, had been taken as well.
1In darkness, transducin is sequestered within the membrane-enriched outer segments of the rod cell.
2Photoreceptor rod cells and blood platelets are remarkably different, yet both illustrate a similar phenomenon.
3In rod cells, cholesterol strongly inhibits rhodopsin activity.
4Some deep-sea fish only have rod cells in the retinas of their eyes, unlike humans who have both rods and cones.
5Bright light also causes relocalization of transducin from the OS (outer segments) of the rod cells to the inner compartments.
1When cone and rod photoreceptor dysfunction was present, it was approximately equal.
2A single photon can be detected by a rod photoreceptor cell.
3Our studies also implicate MEF2C as a transcriptional regulator of homeostasis in rod photoreceptor cells.
4A new high-resolution structure is reported for bovine rhodopsin, the visual pigment in rod photoreceptor cells.
5PCR-analysis on laser capture microdissection samples was used to verify the expression of these genes in the rod photoreceptor layer.
1We found that IRBP removes all-trans-retinol from individual rod photoreceptors in a concentration-dependent manner.
2Activation of rod photoreceptors by light induces a massive redistribution of the heterotrimeric G-protein transducin.
3Unique to fish, rod photoreceptors are added in situ from stem cells within the mature retina.
4Cone photoreceptors of the vertebrate retina terminate their response to light much faster than rod photoreceptors.
5We have used the fluorescence of all-trans retinol to study this reduction in living rod photoreceptors.
