Receptor-Coupled Phosphoinositide Hydrolysis in Human Retinal Pigment Epithelium
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1991-06)
Carbachol and histamine stimulated phosphoinositide (PPI) hydrolysis in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), as reflected by an accumulation of 3 H-inositol phosphates in the presence of 10 m M Li + . Carbachol ...
The bicoid -related Pitx gene family in development
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1999-02)
Cellular expression of Midkine-a and Midkine-b during retinal development and photoreceptor regeneration in zebrafish
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-05-01)
In the retina of adult teleosts, stem cells are sustained in two specialized niches: the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) and the microenvironment surrounding adult MÜller glia. Recently, MÜller glia were identified as the ...
Ganglion cell acuity in hooded rats
(Elsevier, 1982)
Previous measurements of retinal ganglion cell acuity in hooded rats have differed significantly from behavioral tests of visual acuity. One possible source of this discrepancy is examined--that light deprivation in early ...
Synaptic organization of regenerated retina in the goldfish
(Wiley-Liss, Inc., 1994-05-22)
In the adult goldfish, any manipulation that significantly depletes retinal neurons stimulates neurogenesis and the regeneration of nearly normal retina. We sought to determine the extent to which the regenerated neurons ...
Assessment of foveal cone photoreceptors in Stargardt's macular dystrophy using a small dot detection task
(Elsevier, 1993-07)
We measured frequency-of-seeing curves for tiny (1.125 and 3.375 min arc) stimuli flashed briefly at absolute threshold to estimate the density of foveal cones in normals and in subjects with Stargardt's macular dystrophy. ...
Nestin-Cre mediated deletion of Pitx2 in the mouse This article is a US Government work and, as such, is in the public domain in the United States of America.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-07)
Nestin-Cre mice are widely used to generate gene deletions in the developing brain. Surprisingly, few Nestin-Cre lines have been characterized for their temporal and brain region-specific recombination. In addition, some ...
Plasma-induced changes in the physiology of mammalian retinal glial cells: Role of glutamate
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-02-01)
Plasma can leak into the nervous system when the vascular endothelial barrier is compromised. Although this occurs commonly, little is known about the effects of plasma on the function of cells in the central nervous system. ...
Morphology and distribution of synapses onto a type of large field ganglion cell in the retina of the goldfish
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1989-05-08)
The morphology and dendritic distribution of terminals that synapse onto a type of large-field ganglion cell in the retina of the goldfish are described. Electron microscopy was combined with retrograde labelling of cells ...
Nerve growth factor: a mitogenic signal for retinal muller glial cells
(Elsevier, 1994-06-27)
Knowledge of the effects of nerve growth factor (NGF) on glia is limited. A CNS site where NGF-glial interactions may occur is the retina. NGF is endogenous to the retina, and the retinal Muller glial cells have NGF ...
