Journal ArticleDOI

Circadian rhythms in cultured mammalian retina.

Gianluca Tosini, +1 more
- 19 Apr 1996 - 
TL;DR: Cultured neural retinas of the golden hamster exhibited circadian rhythms of melatonin synthesis for at least 5 days at 27°C, and retinas from hamsters homozygous for the circadian mutation tau showed a shortened free-running period ofmelatonin synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circadian clocks, clock networks, arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase, and melatonin in the retina

P. Michael Iuvone, +5 more
- 01 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: This review will cover evidence that cAMP is a major output of the circadian clock in photoreceptor cells; and recent advances indicating that clocks and clock networks occur in multiple cell types of the retina.
Journal Article

Effects of Blue Light on the Circadian System and Eye Physiology

Gianluca Tosini, +2 more
- 24 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge of the effects of blue light on the regulation of physiologic functions and the possible effects ofblue light exposure on ocular health and the spectral output of LED-based light sources to minimize the danger that may be associated with blue light exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Update on melatonin receptors: IUPHAR Review 20.

Ralf Jockers, +11 more
- 08 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: The current review provides an update on melatonin receptors by the corresponding subcommittee of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology, and highlights recent developments of melatonin receptor ligands, including radioligands, and gives anupdate on the latest phenotyping results ofmelatonin receptor knockout mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clock in the mouse retina: melatonin synthesis and photoreceptor degeneration

Gianluca Tosini, +1 more
- 13 Apr 1998 - 
TL;DR: The retinas of some strains of laboratory mice exhibit robust circadian rhythms of melatonin synthesis which can be entrained by light in vitro and the many genetic and molecular tools available in the mouse can now be applied to analysis of the retinal circadian oscillator.
