Breakthrough could protect the vision cells that let you see faces and colors

A research team led by Botond Roska at the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB), together with collaborators, has uncovered genetic pathways and compounds that can help protect cone photoreceptors. These cells are damaged in diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of vision loss.
