Article Synopsis
- Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness globally and can only be treated effectively with surgery, which carries some risks.
- The study investigates the role of SIRT1 in cataract formation, revealing that exposure to shortwave blue light (SWBL) induces oxidative stress and promotes cell death in lens epithelial cells.
- By enhancing SIRT1 expression, researchers found that it could counteract the damaging effects of SWBL and potentially provide new strategies for preventing and treating cataracts.
