A research team led by Prof. Liu Jianguo from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that light-independent metabolic pathways, in addition to light-dependent metabolic ...

Across the entire animal kingdom, visual images are processed by two major neuronal pathways that extract light and dark stimuli from visual scenes—ON (light on) and OFF (light off) pathways. Light ...

Blue light is illuminating new understanding of a key signaling pathway in embryo development, tissue maintenance and cancer genesis. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign ...

Working with mammalian retinal cells, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shown that unlike most light-sensing cells (photoreceptors) in the retina, one special type uses two different ...

Improved understanding of a neural pathway connecting light-sensitive cells in the retina with the cortical brain regions involved in mood and cognition has implications for the development of ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, developed an approach using blue light to activate the Wnt signaling pathway in frog embryos. The pathway plays a wide variety of roles in ...
