Scientists have discovered a gene that guides the separation of two types of motion-sensing cells, offering insight into how cellular layering develops in the retina, with possible implications for the brain's cerebral cortex. A report on the discovery is published in the Nov. 1 issue of the journal iScience/i. "The separation of different types of cells into layers is critical to their ability to form the precise sets of connections with each other - the ...Saturday, 2 November 2013
Scientists Discover Critical Gene in Retinal Development and Motion Sensing
Scientists have discovered a gene that guides the separation of two types of motion-sensing cells, offering insight into how cellular layering develops in the retina, with possible implications for the brain's cerebral cortex. A report on the discovery is published in the Nov. 1 issue of the journal iScience/i.
