Meanings of rod photoreceptors in inglés

We found that IRBP removes all-trans-retinol from individual rod photoreceptors in a concentration-dependent manner.

Activation of rod photoreceptors by light induces a massive redistribution of the heterotrimeric G-protein transducin.

Unique to fish, rod photoreceptors are added in situ from stem cells within the mature retina.

Cone photoreceptors of the vertebrate retina terminate their response to light much faster than rod photoreceptors.

We have used the fluorescence of all-trans retinol to study this reduction in living rod photoreceptors.

Knockdown of Mdka during photoreceptor regeneration results in less proliferation and diminished regeneration of rod photoreceptors.

We undertook this study to examine the biological relevance of Mef2c expression in retinal rod photoreceptors.

Vision at absolute threshold is based on signals produced in a tiny fraction of the rod photoreceptors.

Numbers of rod photoreceptors were counted in plastic sections, and rhodopsin levels were measured using absorption difference spectrophotometry.

These results demonstrate that 11-cis-retinol is not a useful substrate for rod photoreceptors although it is for cone photoreceptors.

This stable transgenic line provides a novel tool for identification of genes regulating development and maintenance of rod photoreceptors.

In the inherited retinal degeneration of rd mice, cyclic GMP accumulates in affected rod photoreceptors prior to their degeneration.

However, rod photoreceptors appear to be more susceptible to both aging and the lack of pigmentation, when compared to cones.

All neurons, with the exception of rod photoreceptors, are continually appended to the extant retina from an annulus of progenitors at the margin.

The progenitors that supply neurons at the retinal margin and rod photoreceptors and regenerated neurons in the mature tissue originate from multipotent stem cells.

We used Nrl.gfp transgenic mice that express green fluorescent protein in rod photoreceptors to assess definitively the ability of CE cells to generate new photoreceptors.
