«We know that other animals use polarisation patterns in the sky, and we have at least some idea how they do it: bees have specially - adapted photoreceptors in their eyes, and birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles all have cone cell structures in their eyes which may help them to detect polarisation,» says Dr Richard Holland of Queen's University Belfast, co-author of the study.

To avoid such perturbations, researchers have developed a computer program that can distinguish between cell types and identify subcellular structures, among other features — all without the fluorescent probes our human eyes rely on.

One thing that I think is important to point out, and that actually makes the results that much more impressive is that while the treatment successfully killed heart, kidney, eye, and fat senescent cells, it failed to kill senescent cells in the colon and liver (and possibly other organs?).

We can then ask whether blood vessels overgrow in the absence of this regulatory pathway; whether overgrowth causes fluid loss from the vessels that in turn causes eye cells to die; and how the eye might try to recover even without any other intervention.

We found that it is very selective and potent at stopping the growth of blood vessel cells without having negative effects on the growth of other cell types from the eye and elsewhere in the body.
