Gene-Environment Interactions01:20

Gene-Environment Interactions

1.3K
Gene expression is a dynamic process that is significantly influenced by environmental factors. This interaction underlies the complex nature of biological development and the phenotypic differences observed among individuals, even among those with identical genetic makeups. Factors such as radiation, temperature, behavior, nutrition, and stress play pivotal roles in determining how genes are expressed. The concept of the reaction range is central to understanding this interaction. It posits...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

7.8K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)01:42

Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)

6.0K
Microtubule function and architecture are regulated by an array of specialized proteins called microtubule-associated proteins or MAPs. These proteins are widespread across different organisms and have conserved protein motifs, like the multi-TOG domain for tubulin binding found in the CLASP family of MAPs. Some MAPs are lineage-specific based on their conserved domains. Their functions depend upon the cytoskeletal architecture and cell type they are located within. In-plant cells, a specific...

Field Effect Transistor01:29

Field Effect Transistor

1.3K
Field-effect transistors (FETs) are integral to electronic circuits and distinguished by their three-terminal setup: the gate, drain, and source. These transistors operate as unipolar devices, which utilize either electrons or holes as charge carriers, in contrast to bipolar transistors, which use both types of carriers. The primary function of the FET is to modulate the flow of these carriers from the source to the drain through a channel. The voltage difference between the gate and source...

Electric Field

12.9K
Consider two point charges, each exerting Coulomb force on the other. It is possible to describe the Coulomb interaction via an intermediate step by defining a new physical quantity called the electric field.
In the new picture, imagine that the first charge sets up an electric field independent of all other charges in the universe. When another charge comes in its vicinity, the second charge experiences an electric force depending on the electric field at that point. The source charge does not...

Magnetic Fields

7.4K
A moving charge or a current creates a magnetic field in the surrounding space, in addition to its electric field. The magnetic field exerts a force on any other moving charge or current that is present in the field. Like an electric field, the magnetic field is also a vector field. At any position, the direction of the magnetic field is defined as the direction in which the north pole of a compass needle points.
A magnetic field is defined by the force that a charged particle experiences...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Vision Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Eye growth regulation is influenced by retinal defocus error signals.
  • Myopia prediction may be enhanced by mapping environmental defocus across the entire visual field.
  • Current technology lacks the ability to provide comprehensive visual field defocus information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a system for quantifying indoor defocus error signals across the central visual field.
  • To create a method for spatio-temporally mapping environmental defocus.
  • To investigate the role of widespread visual field defocus in eye growth regulation.

Main Methods:

  • A system was developed using a Kinect sensor v1 camera and a portable eye tracker.
  • The system quantifies defocus error signals within the central 58° of the visual field.
  • Dioptric differences relative to the fovea were recorded to generate defocus maps.

Main Results:

  • A novel system for quantifying indoor defocus error signals was successfully developed.
  • Defocus maps were generated for various indoor scenes and tasks.
  • The system provides data on defocus across the visual field, not just the fovea.

Conclusions:

  • The developed system offers a new method for measuring visual defocus across a wide visual field.
  • This technology has the potential to improve the understanding and prediction of myopia.
  • Quantifying environmental defocus may be crucial for understanding eye growth regulation.
