Photoreceptors, specifically cones, are among the most metabolically active cells in the body. Their high energy requirements are met by mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of the cell. However, this high activity generates significant waste and mitochondrial damage over time. If damaged mitochondria accumulate, they can trigger cell death, leading to irreversible vision loss. Historically, scientists believed these cells relied primarily on internal processes (autophagy) to clear their own waste. 2023) titled . Photoreceptors
