    Abstract : Apoptosis is a kind of death that is best described as cellular suicide and it is important for normal tissue homeostasis. The process can be induced by a number of different stimuli and the dying cell goes through a defined pathway terminating in typical biochemical and morphological alterations of the cell. READ MORE

  5. 3. Blue light induced retinal damage

    Author : Jiangmei Wu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Visual perception results from a response to radiation between 400 and 760 mu reaching the retina. Photoreceptor cells are differentiated post-mitotic retinal neurons uniquely adapted for the efficient capture of photons and for the initiation of visual transduction. READ MORE
