Multilevel regulation of the glass locus during Drosophila eye development

Bart Deplancke, Michael Vincent Frochaux, Abhishek Kumar Mishra

Development of eye tissue is initiated by a conserved set of transcription factors termed retinal determination network (RDN). In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the zinc-finger transcription factor Glass acts directly downstream of the RDN to contr ...

Single-cell transcriptional logic of cell-fate specification and axon guidance in early-born retinal neurons

Marion Leleu, Gioele La Manno, Pierre Raymond Fabre

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), cone photoreceptors (cones), horizontal cells and amacrine cells are the first classes of neurons produced in the retina. However, an important question is how this diversity of cell states is transcriptionally produced. Here ...

Spatially selective activation of the visual cortex via intraneural stimulation of the optic nerve

Silvestro Micera, Diego Ghezzi, Paola Vagni, Vivien Gaillet, Fiorenzo Artoni, Ariastity Mega Pratiwi, Dario Lipucci Di Paola

Retinal prostheses can restore a functional form of vision in patients affected by dystrophies of the outer retinal layer. Beyond clinical utility, prostheses for the stimulation of the optic nerve, the visual thalamus or the visual cortex could also serve ...

Impact of MCT1 Haploinsufficiency on the Mouse Retina

Pierre Magistretti, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Luc Pellerin

The monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) is highly expressed in the outer retina, suggesting that it plays a critical role in photoreceptors. We examined MCT1+/- heterozygotes, which express half of the normal complement of MCT1. The MCT1(+/-) retina devel ...

Upper stimulation threshold for retinal ganglion cell activation

Diego Ghezzi

Objective. The existence of an upper threshold in electrically stimulated retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is of interest because of its relevance to the development of visual prosthetic devices, which are designed to restore partial sight to blind patients. ...

Image reproduction with compensation of luminance adaptation

Mahmut Sami Arpa

We introduce an image reproduction model that retargets colors for printing purposes to ensure similar luminance perception under photopic and scotopic vision. Our model is based on the physiological functioning of the rod and cone cells in the retina in v ...

How Rhodopsin Tunes the Equilibrium between Protonated and Deprotonated Forms of the Retinal Chromophore

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen, Alicia Solano

Rhodopsin is a photoactive G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that converts dim light into a signal for the brain, leading to eyesight. Full activation of this GPCR is achieved after passing through several steps of the protein's photoactivation pathway. Ke ...

Pull-Out Behavior of CFRP Single-Strap Ground Anchors

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Haifeng Fan

Pull-out experiments were performed on four carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors simulating their applications in rock and soil. The CFRP tendons used in these anchors comprise a single-strap end on both ground and air sides. On the ground ...
