PRDX6 Protein: A Shield Against Oxidative Damage in RPE Cells

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells are like guardians of the eye, protecting it from oxidative stress that can lead to vision-damaging diseases. However, the exact mechanisms behind this protection have been a mystery. In this study, researchers explored how hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) damages RPE cells and the role of peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) protein in […]
