My work on the turquoise killifish photoreceptor mosaic was published last week - check it out if you’re interested in photoreceptors, cell organization, and pretty pictures! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Ordered Chaos: Photoreceptor Mosaics in the Larval and Adult Turquoise Killifish (<i>Nothobranchius furzeri</i>)

The annual turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) cone photoreceptor mosaic is an ordered lattice but lacks regularity of cone subtypes in adulthood. The cone mosaic differs between life stages...

Birds have a thick retina devoid of blood vessels - so how do they ensure sufficient oxygen availability? They don't - neurons rely on glycolysis, metabolizing glucose released from the pecten. Insane new study that includes comparative data on lizards and crocs.🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Oxygen-free metabolism in the bird inner retina supported by the pecten - Nature

While the photoreceptor outer segments in the bird outer retina have access to oxygen, the inner retina operates under chronic anoxia, supported by anaerobic glycolysis in the retinal neurons.

Finally out! We studied the retinas of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark, and found that the retinas remain remarkably healthy in animals around 150 years old. What is the mechanism? It may be a highly efficient DNA repair system. Enjoy! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our latest paper is out! It's led by my first MSc graduate, Andrew Rideout, who did a terrific job with this project. We report some fun and confusing results about mGluR6 trafficking. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
