Reposted by Jason MeyerBob Johnston @bobbyjeyeguy.bsky.social · 25/02/2026I'm excited to share our PNAS paper from 1st author Kasia Hussey. We study how the foveola, the high acuity region of the retina, is patterned by RA and TH. We were surprised to find that cone subtypes appear to convert fates. Our studies are important for AMD sufferers. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...pnas.orgA cell fate specification and transition mechanism for human foveolar cone subtype patterning | PNASIn the central region of the human retina, the high-acuity foveola is notable for its dense packing of green (M) and red (L) cones and absence of b... 32811
