Divergent molecular and circuit mechanisms underlie light entrainment of retinal and suprachiasmatic nucleus circadian clocks

Antonin Jandot, Hugo Calligaro, Arman Dianak-Shoori…·Ouria Dkhissi‐Benyahya

This study identifies divergent molecular and circuit mechanisms for light entrainment in retinal and SCN circadian clocks using mouse models and transcriptomic analysis.

Circadian Rhythms in Murine Ocular Tissues including Sclera are affected by Neurobasal A Medium Preincubation, Mouse Strain, but not Sex

Nemanja Milićević, Cristina Sandu, Étienne Challet…·Marie‐Paule Felder‐Schmittbuhl

This study investigates how sex, mouse strain, and culturing conditions affect circadian rhythms in murine ocular tissues, finding that Neurobasal A medium and mouse strain enhance rhythms, while sex does not.

Core Circadian Clock Genes Per1 and Per2 regulate the Rhythm in Photoreceptor Outer Segment Phagocytosis

Nemanja Milićević, Ouafa Ait-Hmyed Hakkari, Udita Bagchi…·Marie‐Paule Felder‐Schmittbuhl

This study shows that Per1 and Per2 are required for the daily rhythm of photoreceptor outer segment phagocytosis, with the RPE driving this process transcriptionally.

Distinctive properties of cones in the retinal clock and the circadian system

Cristina Sandu, Prapimpun Wongchitrat, Nadia Mazzaro…·Marie‐Paule Felder‐Schmittbuhl

The paper identifies cones as an autonomous oscillator in the retinal network and shows they provide input to the master clock under constant light.
