Rod phototransduction and light signal transmission during type 2 diabetes

Silke Becker, Lara S. Carroll, Frans Vinberg

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.

Revival of light-evoked neuronal signals in the post-mortem mouse and human retina

Fatima Abbas, Silke Becker, Bryan William Jones…·Frans Vinberg

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.
