The discovery fundamentally changes the understanding of a structure in the avian eye that has been misinterpreted for centuries.

Bird retinas survive without oxygen by burning sugar scientists solve 300 year mystery that could help treat human strokes.

Scientists have for the first time looked deep into the protein structure that may determine our vision - and discovered that it is much more dynamic than previously thought. RBP3 not only changes its ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have deciphered the molecular processes that first occur in the eye when light hits the retina. The processes—which take only a fraction of a trillionth ...

Scientists have discovered a mechanism by which an area of a protein shape-shifts to convert vitamin A into a form usable by the eye's light-sensing photoreceptor cells. A previously uncharacterized ...

Researchers also suggest potential new genetic associations with macular edema, which warrant further research. A study published in Scientific Reports confirmed previously identified retinal ...
