  1. Retinal #photoreceptor cells are maintained through a complex #ProteinTrafficking network. @RobichauxLab use quant super-res microscopy to reveal trafficking of the visual pigment #rhodopsin in the inner segment region of rod photoreceptors #PLOSBiology plos.io/3RPJPVW

  2. Ciliated #photoreceptor cells have been well studied re #RetinalDegeneration, but what about #PrimaryCilia in other ocular cell types? Study shows that #PrimaryCilium in RPE is essential for development & function; loss results in degeneration #PLOSBiology plos.io/3t2PwaG

  3. Investigating both the #genetic information and structure of the #photoreceptor #rhodopsin, responsible for detecting dim light, of #whale #sharks to investigate how they can see in the dim light at extreme depths.
