Summary
The paper discusses the use of melanopsin to restore retinal function and inhibit degeneration in a rat model of retinal degeneration, finding that melanopsin overexpression delayed the loss of visual function.

Aging: The paper discusses the progressive loss of photoreceptor cells and outer nuclear layers of the retina, a condition that worsens with age.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the use of melanopsin, a photopigment, to restore retinal function and inhibit degeneration.
