Abstract: Put your garbage out when it's not trash day, and the waste will sit at the curb. A similar problem with rubbish collection in the eye might underlie some age-related types of blindness, according to new work. Shackling a receptor that controls cells' stickiness disrupts the normal junk-pickup schedule, the study shows. The results might help researchers better understand diseases in which cellular refuse blemishes the retina.
