Summary
This paper discusses the role of cryptochromes (CRY), specifically CRY 2, in the light entrainment of retinal biorhythms in mammals, suggesting that CRY 2 may act as a light receptor mediating retinal light entrainment.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of cryptochromes in the light entrainment of retinal biorhythms, which is crucial for eye health.
