Dopaminergic amacrine neurons are the only source of dopamine in the retina. Released locally at synapse- like varicosities to target neurons and also in a paracrine fashion to diffusely affect the retina, dopamine is critical in adjusting the retina from nighttime to daytime vision. Intriguing data from published studies indicate that dopaminergic processes and varicosities closely associate with the retinal capillaries, not just neurons, but whether dopamine is vasoactive in retina as in brain is unknown.

Placements of dental resins often result in recurrent caries (cavities) and have higher failure rates compared to amalgam. Newly developed dental materials that have excellent strength and durability, as well as anticariogenic activity should make resin composites a durable alternative to amalgam. Thus, the addition of visible light activated nanoparticles into novel resin formulations may improve the physical and antibacterial performance of dental resins.
