www.MitoWorld.org, happy to join BSky mitochondria community, mitochondriacs, and the quest for mitochondria to be a truly well-known phenomenon in the public, in health, medicine and at the frontiers of cell biology, bioenergetics and evolution. Happy to put up your lab, videos, papers on the site.

“…excessive exposure of the retina to blue light tends to cause ROS accumulation and oxidative stress, which affect the structure and function of the retinal mitochondria and trigger mitochondria-involved death signaling pathways.”
Mitochondria as Potential Targets and Initiators of the Blue Light Hazard to the Retina
Commercially available white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have an intense emission in the range of blue light, which has raised a range of public concerns about their potential risks as retinal hazar...

“Exposure to red light significantly (P < 0.05) increased leptin concentrations compared to the remaining in dim-light condition after both 8-hour sleep and 5-hour sleep”
Light Modulates Leptin and Ghrelin in Sleep-Restricted Adults
Acute and chronic sleep restrictions cause a reduction in leptin and an increase in ghrelin, both of which are associated with hunger. Given that light/dark patterns are closely tied to sleep/wake pat...

Mitochondria in the eyes of mammals act as microscopic lenses to help focus light on photoreceptor pigments. This process enhances photon delivery and gives light directional sensitivity.
