17, 2000) — DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University Medical Center researchers have shed new light on the process of hereditary retinal degeneration by demonstrating for the first time how the death of rod cells in the retina ultimately leads to the demise of cone cells, ... Since the disease progresses so slowly in humans,
