Differentiation of photoreceptors and horizontal cells in the embryonic mouse retina: an electron microscopic, serial section analysis

The Journal of Comparative Neurology
J W Hinds, P L Hinds

Abstract

The early differentiation of photoreceptors and horizontal cells in the mouse retina has been studied with serial thin sections and reconstructions in embryos on the fifteenth and seventeenth days of gestation (E15 and E17). The following developmental sequences have been inferred. At E15 photoreceptors develop from ventricular cells when a long vitreal process fails to develop following mitosis, and the end of the ventricular process forms a bulbous enlargement (the future inner segment) which contains a pair of centrioles and a cilium and extends into the optic ventricle. This future inner segment is considerably larger at E17, but otherwise the photoreceptors resemble those seen at E15. At E15 horizontal cells develop from ventricular cells when a long vitreal process fails to develop following mitosis, and the end of the ventricular process detaches from the junctional complex at the ventricular surface. By E17 future horizontal cells are located in the middle of the ventricular layer (neuroblastic layer) and have developed from bipolar shaped cells into cells with multiple branching processes, predominantly radially arranged but rarely with a more tangential orientation. These relatively advanced cells at E17 resemble clos...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
