Scientists Discover a Natural Molecule That Could Help Prevent Vision Loss

A newly identified retinal signaling molecule may help coordinate the eye’s response to damage, revealing a potential avenue for slowing vision loss in degenerative eye diseases. For millions of people affected by conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa, vision loss often begins with the gradual death of photoreceptors, the light-sensing [...]
