In this video, we learn about the importance of the amino acid serine for eye health, particularly in preventing and treating vision problems like macular telangiectasia (MacTel).

Research published in Cell Metabolism explores the connection between serine and the retina, emphasizing its role in providing energy and protecting cells. The retina has three ways of obtaining serine: through the bloodstream, local production from glucose, and a backup system.

This highlights the importance of a balanced diet and efficient absorption for maintaining healthy retinas. Understanding these mechanisms could lead to new insights in eye health and potential treatments for degenerative eye diseases.
