Cross-species molecular mapping of the photoreceptor sensory cilium and periciliary structures identifies conserved and species-specific architectural features

Ultrastructure expansion microscopy of dog, macaque and human retinas shows conserved rod-cone differences in the photoreceptor ciliary core but species-divergent periciliary membranes, calyceal processes and rootlets.

Mapping protein distribution in the canine photoreceptor sensory cilium and calyceal processes by ultrastructure expansion microscopy

This study uses ultrastructure expansion microscopy to map protein distribution in canine photoreceptor sensory cilia and calyceal processes, revealing architectural differences between rods and cones.
