What if light is not just the physiological target of photoreceptors, but also a potent instructive signal in their differentiation?
In our new @biorxivpreprint, we show that structured light enhances human photoreceptor maturation in retinal organoids.

✨ Bottom line:
Light isn’t just what photoreceptors respond to.
It’s what guides them.
And it’s time we start using it.
