As you get older, your eyes worsen and become susceptible to a disease called age-related macular degeneration -- the leading cause of blindness, with no cure in sight. Sharing the science of how your vision works, researcher Joshua Chu-Tan offers breakthrough insights on a lesser-known RNA that could change the treatment for this disease, preserving the gift of sight for longer and improving the quality of life for millions of people.

The science of preserving sight

Harnessing microRNA could revolutionize treatment for age-related macular degeneration, offering hope of preserving vision.

MicroRNA, discovered in the 21st century, shows promise in treating complex diseases by controlling multiple genetic pathways.

Quality of life, not longevity, is the true treasure. MicroRNA research aims to ensure clearer vision for millions, for longer.
