Our study, spearheaded by grad student Meet Patel, explores an often-overlooked aspect of photoreceptor physiology, the calyceal process, and uncovers a novel molecular mechanism of outer segment homeostasis. -Dr. Jakub Famulski elifesciences.org/articles/102...
elifesciences.org
Cdhr1a and pcdh15b may link photoreceptor outer segments with calyceal processes revealing a potential mechanism for cone-rod dystrophy
Zebrafish cone photoreceptor outer segment integrity may be regulated by the interactions between the outer segments and calyceal processes mediated by retinal cadherins cdhr1a and pcdh15b.
