Raportoinut AI
Researchers at UC Irvine have demonstrated that supplementing mice with a specific polyunsaturated fatty acid can restore visual function and reverse signs of cellular aging in the retina. The study targets the ELOVL2 gene, linked to age-related vision loss and macular degeneration. Published in Science Translational Medicine, the findings suggest potential therapies beyond DHA supplementation.
