Summary
This paper discusses the research and challenges related to the expression and purification of melanopsin, a unique non-visual photosensitive pigment.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin, a pigment found in the eye, and its role in photosensitivity.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper indirectly discusses cognitive function through its exploration of melanopsin's role in the retina and its impact on visual perception.
Lighting Design Considerations: The research on melanopsin's photosensitivity could have implications for lighting design, particularly in terms of how different light wavelengths might impact visual perception.
