video: This is a 3-D reconstructed RD retina turning 90 degrees to the side. Halorhodopsin-expressing RD photoreceptors shown in green, filled ganglion cell shown in magenta and the nuclear layers are displayed in white. This video relates to an article that appeared in the June 24, 2010, issue of Science Express, published by AAAS. The study, by Dr. Volker Busskamp of Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel, Switzerland, and colleagues, is titled, "Genetic Reactivation of Cone Photoreceptors Restores Complex Visual Responses in Retinitis pigmentosa." view more
