Seal’s Nanoresearch Quoted in New York Times

September 20, 2007
Photoreceptor cells in the retina are bombarded with photons — their job, after all, is to convert light to signals that the brain can understand. But this constant rain of photons causes problems, too. Photoreceptor cells are highly oxygenated, and the combination of high oxidation and all those photons produces peroxides and other reactive oxygen…
