Summary
The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in retinal maintenance, focusing on how its loss results in photoreceptor degeneration and retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction.
Categories
Eye health: The paper discusses the role of melanopsin in maintaining the health of the retina, and how its loss can lead to degeneration of photoreceptors and dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Aging: The paper discusses how the loss of melanopsin can lead to age-related damage in the retina.
