The #seahorse #retina shows off its beauty — stunning stratification in the inner nuclear and inner #plexiform layers, with rod #bipolar terminals forming a brilliant band.

#Vertebrate retinas: the same basic plan, yet each species adds its own twist. Its so fascinating.

#Seahorse retina stained with #GNB3 (green) + #DAPI (cyan). GNB3 labels cone photoreceptors + ON #bipolarcells, tracing pathways from outer to inner retina. Amazing to see conserved visual #circuits in this non-traditional model

Happy to share the definitive version of our last paper about the role of TET enzymes and DNA demethylation in retinal development @clark-lab-retina.bsky.social journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...
Active DNA demethylation upstream of rod-photoreceptor fate determination is required for retinal development
TET enzymes remove DNA methylation markers, but the role of this process in retinal development is not clear. This study shows that these enzymes are required for photoreceptor cells to initiate the g...

We recently wrote a review about neuroimmune interactions in retinal repair. We dive into the literature regarding immune influences in Muller glia reprogramming, cell transplantation, and axon regeneration. Hopefully its useful, free link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1k-FL4pAsj...
