Abstract
Cone photoreceptors, responsible for high-resolution and color vision, progressively degenerate following the death of rod photoreceptors in the blinding disease retinitis pigmentosa. Aït-Ali et al. describe a molecular mechanism by which RdCVF, a factor normally released by rods, controls glucose entry into cones, enhancing their survival.Entities:
