Article Synopsis
- The retina plays a crucial role in sensing light, projecting it to the suprachiasmatic nucleus, with the Cholecystokinin receptor type A (Cckar) being vital for this light reception process.
- Research aimed to clarify how Cckar influences the expression of clock genes in retinal cells, revealing that mRNA levels vary throughout the day and that these rhythms can be altered in mice.
- Cckar appears to modulate the responsiveness of retinal cells to light, affecting the expression cycle of core clock genes, which may help synchronize biological rhythms with light conditions.
