Summary
This paper discusses the role of melanopsin in phototransduction in intrinsically photoreceptive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), and the potential for melanopsin to function as a photopigment.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin, a pigment found in retinal ganglion cells, in phototransduction.
Phototherapy: The paper explores the potential for melanopsin to function as a photopigment, which could have implications for phototherapy treatments.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in regulating the circadian clock, which is a key aspect of hormone regulation.
