This study revives and sustains light signal transmission in postmortem human retinas and develops tools for drug testing and ischemia-reperfusion modeling.

This study shows that reducing transducin in photoreceptors of P23H mice delays photoreceptor degeneration and improves function, suggesting transducin downregulation as a potential therapy for RP.

The paper shows that homeostatic plasticity in the retina maintains sensitive night vision despite rod photoreceptor degeneration in a mouse model of Retinitis Pigmentosa.

This study investigates how type 2 diabetes affects rod photoreceptor function in vivo and ex vivo, finding that long-term diabetes impairs glucose-induced responses but not intrinsic light signal transduction.

This study revives light-evoked neuronal signals in postmortem mouse and human retinas, showing that cone photoreceptor responses can be restored up to 5 hours postmortem, with hypoxia being the main cause of irreversible signal loss.
