Question about equilibrium potential formula The Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz eqaution describes the reversal potential, which is usually not an equilibrium potential because none of the ions are in equilibrium |

Extraretinal photoreception in mammals? -1. It is well-established that opsins are expressed widely, but their functions are not known. It hasn't been convincingly shown anywhere that human opsins confer light sensitivity to any cells other than those in the retina. The knee study you mentioned has been refuted (see my comment here: biology.stackexchange.com/a/704/72). Also, a point of nomenclature, photoreceptors are cells that are sensitive to light, and opsins are called photopigments when they are bound to a chromophore and are sensitive to light. |

What is the point of being selection-free? I agree that they are trying to demonstrate a method that will be applicable for in vivo gene therapy. The results are suggestive of some rate of efficacy for in vivo repair. However, an 18% fraction of repaired cells in a dish does not point to, or even imply, an 18% fraction of repaired cells in a body. |
