Summary
The paper discusses the effects of DENAQ, a second-generation azobenzene-based photoswitch, on retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in canine retinas, and its potential as a strategy to restore vision in patients with end-stage photoreceptor degeneration.
Categories
Eye health: The paper explores the use of DENAQ to restore light sensitivity in degenerated canine retinas, which could have implications for human eye health and vision restoration.
Phototherapy: The study involves the use of light-dependent photoswitches, a form of phototherapy, to potentially restore vision in degenerated retinas.
