Summary
This study investigates the effects of cold challenge on melanopsin expression, TRP channels, and natriuretic peptides in mouse hearts, touching on melanopsin phototransduction in ipRGCs. The practical implications for lighting design are limited, as the focus is primarily on cardiac and thermal physiology rather than direct lighting applications.
