Scientists have taken a major step toward protecting the very cells that make sharp, colorful vision possible. By testing more than 2,700 compounds in thousands of lab-grown human retinal models, researchers uncovered several molecules that can shield cone photoreceptors\u2014the cells responsible for reading, recognizing faces, and seeing color\u2014from degeneration. They also identified a key protective mechanism involving casein kinase 1, offering a promising new target for treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
