The research reveals how mutations may alter color vision or destabilize key eye proteins, Polina Isaikina told Newsweek.

Primate species with better color vision are not more likely to have red skin or fur coloration, as previously thought. It's long been assumed that primates' colorful skin and fur is linked to their ...

Researchers have harnessed the human eye's color-sensing strengths to give the eye the ability to distinguish between objects that differ in thickness by no more than a few nanometers, about the width ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, have attempted to restore color vision to completely color-blind subjects using gene therapy. In their paper, "Seeing color following gene ...
