Using the stem cells, the researchers made "retinal sheets" that are enriched in immature versions of the cone photoreceptor cells, which could become mature cone cells when cultured in the lab.
We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness ...
