Abstract excerpt

To test the hypothesis that local environmental cues regulate the expression of middle wavelength-sensitive (MWS) and short wavelength-sensitive (SWS) opsins in cone photoreceptors, we examined the development of the neonatal mouse retina in an organotypic culture system. The segregation of MWS a...
